Response of manurial residue on wheat at different doses of fertilizer under rice‐wheat cropping sequence

An experiment was carried out during the year 1990–91 and 1991–92 at the University farm, Mohanpur in order to study the response of manurial residue to wheat crop at different doses of fertilizer under rice‐wheat cropping sequence. Incorporation of farm yard manure @ 10 t/ha to winter paddy showed significant effect on succeeding crop, wheat as compared to only fertilizer use in both the crops. Grain yield, and number of effective tillers/m2 of wheat were significantly influenced by manurial residue and attained their highest values at 100 per cent recommended dose of fertilizer with moderate soil health. Manurial residue showed higher rate of increment in grain yield of wheat at 75 per cent dose of fertilizer but leaving the soil with poor fertility condition.
