Abstract
A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of foliar
application of nano urea applied in different concentrations and at different
growth stages on nutrient uptake, yield and production economics of wheat (Triticum
aestivum L) cv. “Phule samadhan” under normal field (EC < 2 dSm-1)
and saline-sodic field ((EC >4 dSm-1) over two seasons viz.,
Rabi, 2021 and Rabi, 2022 at Post Graduate Institute Research Farm
Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth,
Rahuri. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with eight treatments
and three replications for wheat crop. The results revealed that among the different
treatments, application of 75% N through urea (Soil application) + 25% N through
two foliar sprays of nano urea first 40 % at 30 DAS (tillering) and second 60% at
60 DAS (flowering) was found beneficial to increase grain yield and highest B:C ratio (2.07 and 1.77) in the year 2021-22 and 2022-23
respectively however; the treatment
of GRDF 100% N through urea (Soil application) + 2 water sprays were found at par.
