Abstract :

BACKGROUND: To alleviate the negative effect of fertilizers, integrated plant nutrient management is an option as it utilizes available organic and inorganic nutrients to build ecologically sound and economically viable farming system. Research has suggested that integrated nutrient management strategies involving chemical fertilizers and bio-fertilizers enhance the sustainability of crop production.OBJECTIVES: Current research was conducted to investigate the effect of urea chemical fertilizer and sugarcane compost on wheat crop production and growth indices.METHODS: This study was done according split plots experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications. The treatments included different amounts of sugarcane compost at three levels of zero, 15 and 30 t.ha-1 as the main factor and nitrogen fertilizer from the urea source at three levels of 80, 160 and 240 kg.ha-1 pure nitrogen belonged to secondary factor.RESULT: The results showed that the difference between the levels of sugarcane compost on the leaf area index, total dry matter plant and seed yield was significant. The difference between nitrogen fertilizer levels was statistically significant in all measured traits. The interaction effect of nitrogen fertilizer and sugarcane compost on the measured traits was not statistically significant. The highest seed yield in 30 t.ha-1 of sugarcane compost and 240 kg.ha-1 of pure nitrogen was 6446 and 6421 kg.ha-1, respectively, and the lowest seed yield in conditions without sugarcane compost and 80 kg.ha-1 was 5166 and 5304 kg.ha-1, respectively.CONCLUSION: The results of the current study showed that the consumption of sugarcane compost and nitrogen led to an increase in the yield of corn seeds through the improvement of growth characteristics. The highest quantitative yield was obtained under the conditions of application of 30 t.ha-1 of sugarcane compost and 240 kg per hectare of nitrogen fertilizer, which can be considered and suggested by farmers and researchers.
