The results of the field experiment conducted during winter seasons of 1994-96 revealed that application of organic manures improved yield attributes and grain, straw and biological yields of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori & Paol.). Application of vermicompost at the rate of 7.5 or 10 t/ha yielded higher than 10t/ha FYM. Increasing dose of nitrogen improved significantly the yield attributes-and yields of the crop. Integration of vermicompost at 10 t/ha or 7.5 t/ha or FYM 10 t/ha with 100 kg N/ha produced grain, straw as well as biological yields on par to recommended dose of fertilizers (120 + 60 + 25 kglha N + P,O, + Zn SO,) during both years.
