A field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2018-19 and 2019-20 to test three sources of nutrients and five levels of NPK on wheat in a Vertisol. Application of inorganic (100%) and integrated source (50% inorganic + 50% organic) of nutrients significantly increased yield attributes and yield of wheat over organics (100%). However, the number of grains spike-1, grain and straw yield of wheat with inorganic were also found significantly superior to integrated source of nutrients. While the application of all the NPK level significantly increased the plant yield and yield attributes of wheat over control. However, the application of NPK levels @150 and 200% were found significant over 100% NPK level for yield and all yield attributes of wheat except number of tillers plant-1 at 150% NPK but the difference between the two treatments was found non-significant. The application of 200% NPK with inorganics and integrated source of nutrients significantly increased the plant height and number of tillers plant-1 over 100% NPK at the same source and level of NPK with organics. The application of 150 and 200% NPK were found significant over 100% NPK for grain and straw yield with inorganics and integrated sources of nutrients and length of spike and number of grains spike-1 with inorganics. In general, the application of all the NPK level with inorganic and integrated source of nutrients were found significantly superior to the same levels of NPK with organics for yield and yield attributes of wheat.
