To study the effect of nitrogen and KSB levels on growth and yield of wheat, an experiment was conducted at the Instructional Farm of Department of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture, AKS University, Sherganj, Satna (M.P.) during rabi season of 2020-21. The experiment consisted of randomize block design having Factorial arrangement with three replications. In this experiment, 12 treatment combinations including four levels of nitrogen and three levels of KSB were involved such as N₀- 0 kg/ha, N₁- 80 kg/ ha, N₂- 100 kg/ ha and N₃- 120 kg/ha, while KSB levels were tested are K₁- 0.5 lit/ ha, K₂- 1.0 lit/ ha and K₃- 1.5 lit/ ha. Other yield attributes such as Higher plant height (84.09 cm), number of leaves per plant (255.53), number of tillers per meter row length (74.87) at maximum crop growth stage of 90 DAS were also affected favourably and therefor use of nitrogen @ 120 kg/ha.+1.5 lit. of KSB may be concluded for the use in production of wheat crop.
