Figure 1:
Interaction of nitrogen sources and application timing for days to heading of wheat. (DBS= days before sowing, BM= beneficial microbes. Each of the farmyard manure (FYM), poultry manure (PM) and urea were applied to provide 50% of 120 kg N ha-1.
Figure 2:
Interaction of nitrogen sources and application timing for days to anthesis of wheat. (DBS= days before sowing, BM= beneficial microbes). Each of the farmyard manure (FYM), poultry manure (PM) and urea were applied to provide 50% of 120 kg N ha-1.
