Table 2. Effect of different amendments on yield attributes and yield of wheat.

Mean of straw yield, biological yield, No. of tillers, spikes, grains per spike and harvest index. (NS—non-significant (P = 0.05) and mean of grain yield and test weight were found S-Significant (P = 0.05) when compared to F-table value. Duncan’s multiple range test (DMRT) for comparison of mean yields and test weight of different amendment treatments (α = 0.05) was conducted. Means of grain yield and test weight of different treatments followed by different alphabets are significantly different among themselves and Means with the same letter are not significantly different).
