Abstract: A field experiment entitled “Efficacy assessment of Plasma and Nanochitosan on yield attributes of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)†was conducted with 12 treatments (full dose of fertilizer+ control, full dose of fertilizer+ nanochitosan, full dose of fertilizer+ plasma, 3/4th dose of fertilizer+ control, 3/4th dose of fertilizer+ nanochitosan, 3/4th dose of fertilizer+ plasma, ½ dose of fertilizer+ control, ½ dose of fertilizer+ nanochitosan, ½ dose of fertilizer+ plasma, no fertilizer+ control, no fertilizer+ nanochitosan+ nanochitosan and no fertilizer+ plasma) having 3 replications laid out in split plot design at N.E. Borlaug crop research centre, pantnagar during rabi 2017-18. Various yield attributing characteristics such as spike length, spike density/m2, fertile and sterile spikelets/spike, 1000 grain weight, grain yield, straw yield biological yield harvest index and grain: straw ratio have been recorded. Full dose of fertilizer along with nanochitosan was performed better which was statistically at par with 3/4th dose of fertilizer in addition to plasma but significantly higher than the other treatments. Hence, nanochitosan and plasma can be useful to coup up emerging issues related to agriculture.
