Abstract

A field experiment was conducted to investigate the combined effect of NPK (Nitrogen, phosphorus and potash) on the growth of wheat cultivar Super Golden. Objective of the study was to determine effects of different levels of NPK on growth by wheat (Triticum eastivum L.) variety. The thrice replicated treatments (T0: 0-0-0 NPK, T1: 30-0-20 NPK, T2: 60-0-0 NPK, T3: 120-0-0 NPK, T4: 0-15-50 NPK, T5: 0-30-0 NPK, T6: 0-60-10 NPK, T7: 120-60-50 NPK and T8: 60-30-25 NPK) kg/ha were tested in randomized block design (RBD). Treatment plot site was situated in longitude 25019′09.0′′ latitude 081003′59.9′′ and height 102 meter at sea level. The results revealed that highest growth parameters replied significantly to NPK fertilizers. The highest growth was recorded with the application of 120-60-50 NPK (kg/ha) and lowest concluded treatment combination was T0 (0-0-0) NPK (kg/ha).
