  "abstract": "The combined application of organic and inorganic fertilizer improves crop productivity and soil health. The field experiments were conducted to determine the effect of distillery spent wash (DS), bio-compost (BC) and NPK fertilizers on growth, yield and quality of wheat crop during 2013-14 and 2014-15 at Shakarganj Sugar Research Institute (SSRI) Jhang, Pakistan. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete design and composed of different combination of 3 -1 DS, BC and NPK i.e., T : DS 0%+ BC 0% + F 0%, T : DS 50% (64m ) + BC 50% (450kg ha ) + F 0%, T : DS 50% + 1 2 3 -1 -1 3 -1 BC 50% (450kg ha ) + F 25% (30-25-15 NPK kg ha ), T : DS 25% (32 m ) + BC 25% ( 225kg ha ) + F 50% ( 60-50- 4 -1 3 -1 -1 3 30 NPK kg ha ), T : DS 50 % (64m ) + BC 25 % (225kg ha ) + F 25 % ( 30-25-15 NPK kg ha ), T : DS 25% (32 m ) + 5 6 -1 -1 BC 50% ( 450kg ha ) + F 25% ( 30-25-15 NPK kg ha ). The maximum improvement in growth attributes were recorded in treatment T , whereas, the minimum values of growth attributes were found in control treatment. The maximum plant 4 -1 height ( 107 cm, 106.2 cm), productive tillers (427.50, 424.25) , 1000 grain weight (37 g, 37.75 g) grain yield (5.15 t ha , -1 -1 -1 4.96 t ha ) and biological yield (10.28 t ha , 10.14 t ha ) were recorded in treatment T while the minimum values of 4 these attributes were obtained without use of DS, BC and NPK. Moreover, maximum grain nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and protein contents were also found in treatment T whereas no application of DS, BC and NPK significantly 4 3 - reduced these qualitative attributes. These results suggested that combination of [(DS 25% (32 m )+BC 25% (225kg ha 1 -1 )+F 50% ( 60-50-30 NPK kg ha )] can be used to improve growth, yield and quality of wheat. 2008).
