Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during winter season of 2011-2012 at Instructional Farm of Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Faizabad. The experiment was consisting of eight (8) treatment viz., T1 (control), T2 (100% RDF), T3 (75% RDF + 25% FYM-N), T4 (50% RDF +50% FYM- N), T5 (25% RDF +75 % FYM -N), T6 (75% RDF + 25% Vermicompost-N), T7 (50% RDF +50% Vermicompost -N), T8 (25% RDF + 75% Vermicompost -N) were laid out in randomized block design with four replication. Growth parameter such as plant height (cm), was significantly higher in 75% RDF + 25% VC- N which was at par with 100% RDF and 75%RDF +25% FYM –N. Yield attributes viz., No. of effective tillers /hill, spike length (cm), number of grain spike-1 were increased significantly with 75% RDF + 25% VC-N which was at par with T2 and T3. Grain and straw yield were highest with 75% RDF + 25% VC-N which was at par with T2 and T3. 25% RDF + 75% VC-N improved available N. P. and K. content in soil as compared to other treatment. Integrated use of inorganic fertilizers and organic manures reduced soil pH and EC from soil.
