Abstract

Field experiments were conducted during rabi 2010–11 and 2011–12 with wheat as a test crop using different SNT urea at Fertilizer Research Station, Uttari Pura of Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture & Technology, Kanpur. The present work was undertaken to study the effect of different SNT urea on yield, nutrients uptake and quality of wheat (PBW-343). The use of different SNT urea (46%) at 100% local rate significantly increased grain and straw yield of wheat over T3. Urea (46%) at 100% local rate highest yield grain 5460 kg/ha and straw 9349 kg/ha were recorded with urea (46%) SNT-C (46%) at 100% local rate. The yield attributes increased with the use of different SNT urea over plain urea and highest value was noted with T6. The NPK uptake and per cent protein in wheat grain also significantly increased with the application of different SNT urea over plain urea and higher values were recorded with T6.
