Abstract: The field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of tillage (conventional and conservation) and nutrient management practices on growth and yield of wheat crop during Rabi season of 2013-13 at Norman E. Borlaug Crop Research Centre, G.B. Pant University of Agriculture & technology, Pantnagar (Uttarakhand). Experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications and six treatments based on tillage (conventional and conservation) and nutrient management practice viz., T₁: Conventional tillage + RDF; T₂: Conventional tillage + RDF + green manuring (before rice); T₃: Conventional tillage + RDF + 10 % extra N; T₄: Zero tillage + RDF; T₅: Zero tillage + RDF + 10% extra N and T₆: Zero tillage + RDF + 10 % extra N + 2 t FYM. Results apparently indicated that the Zero tillage with RDF + 30 % residue retention and 2 t FYM application proves better with respect to growth and yield of wheat as compared to the conventional tillage practices combining with RDF
