Abstract

Aim: To study the effect of FYM and different sources of water on growth, yield and soil chemical properties after harvest of wheat (Triticum aestivum L) in salt affected soils of Gujarat.

Methodology: A field trial was conducted with two levels of FYM viz., F₀: 0 t FYM ha^-1 and F₁: 10.0 t FYM ha^-1 and three sources of irrigation viz., I₁: Sole application of tube well water, I₂: Sole application of canal water and I₃: Alternate application of tube well and canal water which was replicated four times in factorial randomized block design on wheat variety Raj-3077.

Results: The treatment 10 t FYM ha^-1 achieved significantly superior grain (5130 kg ha^-1 Location-I and 4940 kg ha^-1 Location-II) and straw (6517 kg ha^-1 Location-I and 6252 kg ha^-1 Location-II) yields of wheat over no FYM use on pooled results. In contrast, the alternate application of tube well and canal water gave significantly higher grain yield (4458 kg ha^-1 Location-I and 4991 kg ha^-1 Location-II) of wheat over sole use of tube well as well as canal water on pooled basis.      

Interpretation: Stand on this study it is accomplished that use of 10 t FYM ha^-1 and rotate application of tube well and canal water should be used for receiving superior yield and net income from wheat as well as maintaining encouraging soil nutrient status.
