Abstract: A field experiment was conducted 2015-16 and 2016-2017 at experiment farm Soil Conservation of Water Management in C.S. Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur. The experiment was carried out in factorial complete randomized block design with three replications and three nutrient management i.e. N₁ (100% RDN), N₂ (75% RDN through chemical fertilizers + 25% RDN through vermicompost) and N₃ (75% RDN through chemical fertilizers + 25% RDN through vermicompost + Azotobactor) and two varieties i.e. V₁-Narmada (K- 603), V₂-Azad (K-125) and three level of moisture conservation practices i.e. M₁ -Control, M₂ -Dust mulch created by weeding and hoeing followed by hand hoe after 25 days of sowing, M₃-Herbicide (2,4-D, 35 days after sowing) . Results of the experiments indicated grain yield that the 75% RDN through chemical fertilizers + 25% RDN through vermicompost + Azotobactor (26.61 q/ha) significantly superiority over all other nutrients management practices with Narmada (K-603) variety recorded grain yield (16.66 q/ha) > Azad (24.25 q/ha) among dust mulch created by weeding and hoeing followed by hand hoe produced highest grain yield (27.49 q/ha) of all over other moisture conservation practices and maximum net return 75% RDN through chemical fertilizers + 25% RDN through vermicompost + Azotobactor (19350 Rs./ha).
