Determination of Optimum Level of NP Fertilizer for Dry Land Wheat Production in the Rainfed Areas of Kohat
Mirza Hassan, Naveed Akhtar, Muhammad Riaz and Akhter Ali

Abstract: The farmers of the rainfed areas are usually reluctant to use the recommended dose of fertilizers. This study was undertaken on the farmers field as adaptive research trials with the idea, whether the economic risk which is the main hindrance in adapting the recommended dose of fertilizers, is possible to be minimized by using its smaller doses. Fertilizers doses significantly affected biological, bhoosa yield and grain yield kg ha–1. Highest bundle weight and bhoosa kg ha–1 were recorded with the application of 2.5 bag of each Urea and DAP ha–1 and also with the application of 1.25 bag Urea and 2.5 bag DAP ha–1. Maximum grain yield of (2405-2500 kg ha–1) were obtained in T1, T2 and T3 respectively.
