An experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2019-20 at Research Farm of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, SGT University Gurugram. The experiment was laid out in split block design with four varieties WH 283, RAJ 3765, WH 1105, NABI Black Wheat and six integrated nutrient management treatments viz. T1: 100 % RDF (150 kg N + 60 kg P + 25 kg ZnSo4 ha-1), T2: 90% RDF+10% Bio-Fertilizer (Rhizobium + PSB), T3: 80% RDF+ 10% (VC) + 10% Bio-fertilizer (Rhizobium + PSB), T4: 70% RDF+ 20 % (VC) + 10% Bio-fertilizer (Rhizobium + PSB), T5: 60 % RDF+ 30 % (VC) + 10% Bio-fertilizer (Rhizobium + PSB) and T6: Control. The highest growth parameters were recorded with WH 1105 followed by WH 283 and Raj 3765. The lowest growth parameters were recorded with NB black. The treatments were replicated thrice. The maximum growth parameters viz., plant height (93.8 cm), numbers of tillers in running meter (81.4) and dry matter accumulation (982.2g) per square meter were recorded with the application of 100% RDF and minimum at T6 at maturity.
