ABSTRACT An experiment entitled, “Effect of integrated use of nano and non-nano fertilizers on quality and relative economics of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)” was conducted at the research farm of Farming System Research Centre of Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Jammu, Chatha during the rabi season of 2015-2016. The experimental results revealed that among the treatments, treatment T7 (100 % NPK + Nano NPK (L) sprays at 20, 30 & 45 DAS @ 3 ml/litre of water + 2 Nano-K (L) sprays at grain development stage at 110 and 125 DAS @ 4 ml/litre of water) though statistically at par with the treatment T3 (100 % N + 100 % P2O5 + 50 % K + 50 % Nano-K (G) @ 31.25 kg/ha + 2 Nano-K (L) sprays at grain development stage at 110 and 125 DAS @ 4 ml/litre of water) and T2 (100 % N + 100 % P2O5 + 100 % Nano-K (G) @ 62.5 kg/ha) recorded significantly higher carbohydrate content (65.38 %) over all the other treatments in comparison. The highest net returns (Rs. 64580.58 per hectare) were recorded in treatment T3 (100 % N + 100 % P2O5 + 50 % K + 50 % Nano-K (G) @ 31.25 kg/ha + 2 Nano –K (L) sprays at grain development stage at 110 and 125 DAS @ 4 ml/litre of water) over control and other treatments and was followed by treatment T2 (100 % N + 100 % P2O5 + 100 % Nano-K (G) @ 62.5 kg/ha) which gave net returns of Rs. 64390.83 per hectare. However, highest B:C ratio (2.87) was recorded in treatment T2 (100 % N + 100 % P2O5 + 100 % Nano-K (G) @ 62.5 kg/ha) followed by treatment T1 (RDF) which recorded B:C ratio of 2.83.
