Considering the importance of nitrogen, phosphorus and bio-fertilizers on growth and yield of irrigated wheat, the present experiment was conducted to analyze the effect of different levels of nitrogen, phosphorus and bio-fertilizer on yield of irrigated wheat under Bhal region during rabi season of the year 2016-17 and 2017-18 on medium black highly saline soil at Agricultural Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Arnej, Bhal and Coastal Zone-VIII at Gujarat, India. Eight treatment combinations comprising of four levels of Nitrogen (N1: 60 kg N/ha, N2: 60 kg N/ha + Bio NPK, N3: 90 kg N/ha and N4: 120 kg N/ha) and two levels of Phosphorus (P1: 30 kg P2O5/ha and P2: 60 kg P2O5/ha) were laid out in a Randomized Block Design (Factorial) with four replications. The application of 120 kg N/ha recorded the significantly highest grain yield compared to other treatments. The grain yield recorded were 2349, 2430 and 2389 kg/ha during the year 2016-17, 2017-18 and in pooled data, respectively. For phosphorus levels treatment application of 60 kg P2O5/ha recorded the significantly highest grain yield 2340, 2465 and 2402 kg/ha during both the year 2016-17, 2017-18 and in pooled data, respectively. It could be concluded that for securing maximum grain yield of wheat, application of 120 kg N/ha and 60 kg P2O5/ha from which 50 % at basal and 25% at 30 DAS and remaining 25% after 45 DAS from the source of Urea and DAP were effective
