Abstract
Response of "DWR195' wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to organics, macro and micronutrients under irrigation was studied at the Agricultural College Farm, Raichur on deep black clay soil during the rabi season of 2001-02, to investigate the efficiency of dry matter production and its partitioning in wheat. The results showed that the application of RDF+FYM@ 10 t ha-1 recorded significantly higher dry matter production (256.01 g m-1 row length), accumulation in leaves, stem and spikes and grain yield over only RDF at harvest. Among micronutrient treatments, soil application of ZnSO4@ 10 kg ha-1 recorded significantly higher DMP (237.62 g m-1 row length) and also accumulated significantly higher dry matter in leaves (61.14 g m-1 row length), stem (66.00 g m-1 row length), spikes (110.48 g m-1 row length) and grain yield (30.19 q/ha) over rest of the treatments. However, combined application of RDF+ FYM @10 1 ha-1 +Soil application of ZnSO4 @ 10 kg ha-1 accumulated significantly higer dry matter in leaves, stem and spikes and also recorded significantly higher dry matter production ( 297.10 g m-1 row length) and grain yield (38.65 q/ha).
