Abstract: A field experiment entitled "Response of rhizospheric management on soil health and nutrient use efficiency in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)" was conducted during rabi season of 2017-2018 at G.B Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, District, Udham Singh Nagar (Uttarakhand). The experiment was conducted with 19 treatment combinations and 3 replications in a factorial randomized block design. The treatments were consisted of 3 different placement methods viz: Deep placement, surface application and Band placement, Six nutrient management options viz: 100% RDF (150:60:40 kg/ha NPK), 75% RDF (112.5:45:30 kg/ha NPK), 75% RDF +Vermicompost (2 q/ha), 75% RDF +Vermicompost (2 q/ha) +PSB (10 kg/ha), 75% RDF + Poultry manure (2 q/ha), 75% RDF + Poultry manure (2 q/ha) +PSB (10 kg/ha) with one absolute control. Results suggested that among the different placement methods; Deep placement performed significantly better over rest of the treatments in all the growth performance viz: Plant height (cm) and dry matter production (g/m2). However, it was found at par with Band placement. Among the nutrient management treatment, 75% RDF + Vermicompost+ PSB found to be significantly superior in growth of wheat to the rest of the nutrient management options. It was also found at par with 100% RDF and 75 % RDF+ Poultry manure+ PSB. Absolute control plot recorded the lowest improvement in growth. Combined application of Deep placement and 75% RDF+ Vermicompost +PSB or 75% RDF + poultry manure + PSB was found to be the best treatment as they resulted in growth enhancement. Considering widespread low nutrient use efficiency of fertilizers, rhizospheric manipulation with fertilizer placement and nutrient management approach can help in improving growth performance with a reduction in the rate of fertilizers. The addition of organic matter into the soil maximized the rhizospheric efficiency and nutrient use efficiency of wheat.
