Integrated Use of Farm Yard Manure and Urea Fertilizer Enhanced Tissue Nitrogen of Wheat at Different Growth Stages

Abstract

Efficient nitrogen (N) use is one of the most critical issues for crop management. Field trials were carried out in 2009-10 growing years to investigate response of seven Farmyard Manure (FYM) doses and three N rates (0, 45 and 90 kgha^-1) for agronomical traits in wheat. In the research the traits such as at boot, anthesis (leaf, stem), and maturity (leaf, stem, grain and straw) nitrogen content were investigated. Plant tissue analysis is very helpful to detect plant nutritional problems or to observe the usefulness of a soil fertility program. It is a chemical estimation of nutritional condition and concentrations of important elements found in for nutritional condition of plants. Proper understanding of plant tissue analysis results is critical to effective use of this management device. The objectives of this study were to clarify the N condition of different layers at different growth stages and at various N treatments and provide new data on wheat quality factors in combination with N of different canopy layers potentially effect wheat quality during growth. It was demonstrated from the experimental results that the uses of FYM with urea before and at sowing have the potential to enhance the tissue nitrogen content of wheat.
