Abstract
A field research was undertaken to evaluate the comparative efficiency of farmyard manure and chemical fertilizers (NPK) levels with or without farmyard manure on the growth, grain yield and germination count of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. Chakwal-50) The experiment was laid out under Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 5 replications at Bhone Research Station Chakwal during 2011- 2012. . The soil of the experiment site was clay, alkine, calcareous in nature with low fertility and deficient in available phosphorus. Single super phosphate as N @ 100 Kg/ha, P source @ 75Kg/ha, and Recommended dose of K @ 75 kg/ha. was applied to all the treatments at the time of sowing except control treatment. Because of different combinations of fertilizers NPK and FYM, statistically significant differences in grain yield and yield components of wheat were recorded. Maximum grain yield of 5334 Kg/ha-1 was recorded with the application of full fertilizer and FYM. Minimum grain yield 2680 Kg/ha-1 was obtained with no fertilizer control treatment.
