Summary

Experiments made for 4 years in the seasonally dry period of the monsoon environment of north-west India showed that the application of farmyard manure (FYM) with the onset of monsoon rains (in early July) was more advantageous for the growth and yield of wheat than its application at the end of the monsoon season in mid-September. Fertilizer N drilled into the soil with the cessation of rains was better utilized by wheat than that applied at sowing in mid-November. A combination of the organic matter and urea was better than their application separately. N, P and K removal by the wheat crop was significantly increased by FYM and urea application. The time of their application influenced the nutrient removal by the crop in the same way as it affected its growth and yield.
