India. The experiment was consisting of eight (8) treatment viz., T1 (control), T2 (100% RDF), T3 (75% RDF + 25% FYM-N), T4 (50% RDF +50% FYM- N), T5 (25% RDF +75% FYM -N), T6 (75% RDF + 25% Vermi- compost-N), T7 (50% RDF +50% Vermi-compost -N), T8 (25% RDF + 75% Vermi-compost -N) were laid out in randomized block design with four replication. Nitrogen content, uptake and qualityof wheat were significantly higher in 75% RDF + 25% VC- N which was superior as compared to other treatment. Keywords: Effect, integrated nutrient management, content, uptake, quality, sodic, soil Introduction The challenge for agriculture over the coming decades will be to meet the world increasing demand for food in a sustainable way. To become weaker soil fertility and mis management of plant nutrient have made this task more difficult to complete vision 2020.Wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) belongs to family Poaceae is one of the most important cereal crops of the world. Among the world’s most important food grain, it ranks next to rice. It is eaten in various forms by more than one billion in the world. Wheat straw is a good source of feed for a large population of the cattle in our country. Wheat has a relatively high content of niacin and thiamine that is why, wheat proteins are of special significance which are principally concerned in providing the ‘gluten’ which provides the frame work for sponge cellular texture of bread and baked products. Wheat is primarily grown in temperate regions at high altitude as well as medium altitude in tropical and sub-tropical regions. It ranks first in the world among the cereals both in respect of acreage 219.51 m ha and production 758.02 mt (United States Department of Agriculture, 2018) [11] . India is the second largest producer of wheat in the world. Wheat is the second most important cereal crop after rice and this is a pre-dominant winter season crop of north western plain zones and during the years of 2017-18, wheat production in India was 98.51 million tonnes from an area of 30.79 million hectares with a productivity of 3.20 tonnes ha - (United States Department of Agriculture, 2018) [11] Sodic soil reclamation is successful using inorganic amendments like gypsum and pyrite, but these amendments are expensive and not easily accessible to many poor farmers. We explored the possibilities of integrating “Organic Manure (farm yard manure and vermi -compost)”, and rich in sulphur with salt-tolerant wheat varieties to improve the productivity of sodic soil. The vermicompost is the excreta of the earth warms, and farm yard manure is the product of decomposition of the liquid and solid excreta of the livestock. As the source of nutrients, these materials may also reduce the cast of fertilizer input and improve the soil Physico-chemical properties. This will make soil sustainable for crop production and prove eco-friendly. The integrated nutrient management with zinc sulphate under such conditions seems to be more beneficial for wheat cultivation with respect to yield, uptake and utilization of nitrogen and zinc along with improvement in soil health. This technology was successfully validated in farmer’s fields across several villages target hot spots of sodic soil in Eastern Utter Pradesh. A farmer participatory approach was followed for technology validation and to ensure adoption. The promising wheat varieties preferred by the formers were NW1014, NW1067 and KRL99
