A field experiment was conducted to economic evaluation of different treatments in rice residue and nutrients management on performance of timely sown wheat crop at Crop Research Centre campus of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, during the Rabi seasons of 2020-21 and 2021-22. The significantly maximum cultivating wheat grain and straw with residue bio-decomposer treated residue and 125% RDF + growth regulator resulted in a significant increase in yield. The gross return and net return was higher in different rice residue managements under Bio-decomposer Treated Residue while, benefit cost ratio was recorded in treatment Residue burning. Combinations of rice Bio-decomposer Treated Residue with treatment of 125% RDF+ Growth Regulator (Chlormequat chloride @ 0.2% + Tebuconazole @ 0.1%) recorded maximum net return of and benefit cost ratio, while it was minimum under rice Residue Removal treatment with minimum in rice residue retained with application of 75% RDF +10 t FYM during both the years of crop.
