A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season 2023-24 as carried out at Agricultural farm of Rama University, Mandhana, Kanpur. Nine treatments were tested in three replicated Randomized Block Design. Result found that significantly better growth and yield attributes and grain yield (18.89 q/ha) was obtained with treatment T6 75% RDF + 2.5 t/ha vermicompost + PSB over rest of the treatments. The minimum grain yield (10.05q/ha) was received in treatment T1 control (RDF 3:2:1 NPK). The application of 75% RDF + 2.5 t/ha vermicompost + PSB was also found significantly higher gross income (Rs 79432) and net profit (Rs45331) over rest of the treatments. While Benefit: Cost ratio was significantly higher (1.32) with application of 75% RDF + 2.5 t/ha vermicompost + PSB over rest of the treatments. The minimum gross income (Rs 42273) was received in treatment T1 control (RDF 3:2:1 NPK) while the minimum net income and B: C ratio was found in treatment T1 control RDF 3:2:1 NPK).
