Abstract: The influence of sole application of FYM @ 10 tonnes ha-1 either alone and or integrated use of NPK and FYM (T8100% RDF + FYM @10 t ha-1) and vis-a-vis no application of fertilizers and manures (control) on changes in on soil physical properties, yield of nutrient uptake of wheat. The results revealed that soil pH and bulk density decreased, while soil organic carbon, porosity, grain and straw yield, uptake of nutrient increased in the treatments where farmyard manure (FYM) either alone, or in combination with inorganic fertilizer as compared to control. wheat Seeds of cv. Halana (K-7903) experiment was conducted during Rabi season 2011-12 on crop research farm of the Department of Soil Science, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology & Sciences (U.P.).The results of FYM either alone and or combined use of NPK and FYM was resulted in significant (P < 0.07) decrease of bulk density 20.73%, 20.12% than control treatment respectively and soil organic carbon content increased 49.0% and 32.7% compared to control. Increase in KMnO4-N,P,K in surface soil was 47.2, 51.7% 33.22 %,52.26 %,19.43% and 37.72% in plots receiving FYM applied either alone or in combination with NPK than control respectively. The grain yield of wheat was significantly higher (62.74%) in FYM either alone or in combination with NPK (67.8%) than in control plots and Similar was the trend in straw yield). The uptake of N, P and K was higher in all the treatments from that in control plots. Application of FYM either alone or in combination with NPK was higher N-68.51%, 69.75%, P- 64.73%, 65.7%, and K- 51.2%, 58.36% respectively, resulted in considerable changes, N, P and K uptake was affected by balanced fertilizer application. Better soil physical environment coupled with sufficiency of water and nutrients helped in better uptake of water and nutrients and hence the yield of wheat in FYM and inorganic fertilizer plots from that in control plots.
