The field experiment was carried out during rabi season of the year 2018-19 to study the effect of crop residues on soil fertility and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in loamy sand. Total eight treatments of crop residue were laid out in randomized complete block design. Highest number of spike per meter row length (80.5 cm), number of grain per spike (44.5), test weight (48.33), grain yield (5652 kg/ha) and straw yield (6961 kg/ha) were recorded under treatment T2- Castor shell @ 2.50 t/ha and remained statistically at pat with T5-Castor shell @ 1.25 t/ha +Mustard husk @ 1.25 t/ha, T6-Castor shell @ 1.25 t/ha + Cumin straw @ 1.25 t/ha, T7-Mustard husk @ 1.25 t/ha + Cumin straw @ 1.25 t/ha, T8-Castor shell @ 1.0t/ha + Mustard husk @ 1.0t/ha + Cumin straw @ 1.0 t/ha.
