Abstract
Integrated use of organic and inorganic fertilizers play a vital role in the establishment of good crop
stand and phenology. In this regard a field experiment was conducted at Livestock Research and
Development Station, Surezai, Peshawar, for two crops seasons 2010-11 and 2011-12. The experiment
was laid out in randomized complete block design with four replications. Experimental treatments
consisted of poultry manure (2, 4 and 6 ton ha-1) farm yard manure (2, 4 and 6 ton ha-1) and nitrogen
(60 and 90 kg N ha-1). Eighteen different combinations of organic and inorganic fertilizers were
applied to wheat crop. Poultry manure, farm yard manure and nitrogen significantly affected, leaves
tiller-1, plant height, spike length and days to maturity. Higher leaves tiller-1, plant height and more
days to maturity was observed with application of 6 tons poultry manure, 6 tons farm yard manure ha-
1 and 60 kg N ha-1, while poor crop stand and phonological characteristics were observed in control
plots. Good crop stand and phenological characteristics were observed with integrated application of
organic and inorganic fertilizers. It is concluded that a combine dose of 6 ton poultry manure, 6 tons
farm yard manure ha-1 and 90 kg N ha-1 is recommended for good crop stand and phenology in wheat.
