Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is number one cereal of the world and is grown on the largest area.
It is cultured on about 220 million hectares area in the world and delivers almost 21% of our
food calories and 20% of protein for more than 4.5 million people. In India, during past three
decades, intensive agriculture involving exhaustive high yielding varieties of cereals particularly
wheat has led to heavy mining of nutrients from the soil. The crop removes annually large
quantities of plant nutrients from soil. The number and degree of micronutrients is also
increasing at fast pace because erratic, excessive and imbalanced use of chemical fertilizers has
increased which causes high the demand of micronutrients for achieving higher yield. Wheat
area is decreasing every year and there is a very little scope for expansion of area in future. So,
there is urgent need to maintain the soil fertility for stability and sustainability in the productivity
of wheat crop. There are lot of agricultural wastes like crop residues, cow dung, poultry manure
and by products of agriculture-based industries like press mud, bagasses,etc. which can be
recycled to soil which not only increase the chemical, physical and biological properties of soil
but also improve the crop quality by balanced nutrition. The integrated nutrient management is
the answer to most of the present-day problems of malnutrition of crops along with chemical
pollution (Ghanshyam et al., 2010). Therefore, the present investigation was done to evaluate the
effect of different combination of organic material and inorganic material on productivity of
wheat.
