Wheat is an important cereal crop and consumed as staple food across the globe. Stagnant yield of wheat is major challenge to fulfil human requirements and there is a dire need to pragmatic solution. Hence the experiment was performed to enhance grain yield, phosphorus use efficiency, benefit cost ratio and net returns. A two-year study (2017-18 & 2018-19) was arranged under three factors i.e., tillage practices (shallow 15 cm & deep 30 cm), organic manures (poultry manure, green manure, mung bean residues & sugarcane residues) and phosphorus regimes (0, 60, 90 & 120 kg ha^-1). Experiment was executed under randomized complete block design with split pot arrangement and replicated thrice. Data collection regarding grains per spike, grain yield, phosphorus content in soil, grain and straw, phosphorus use efficiency, benefit cost ratio and net returns were assessed. Results of this study exposed that the maximum grain yield (3614 kg ha^-1), benefit cost ratio (BCR) (3.24) and net returns (168067 PKR) obtained under deep tillage practices during both years. Poultry manure had produced the highest grain yield (3664 kg ha^-1), BCR (3.24) and net return (171629 PKR) followed by cattle manure. Phosphorus (P) application @90 kg P ha^-1 produced the highest grain yield (4068 kg ha^-1) 60 kg P ha^-1 enhanced BCR and phosphorus use efficiency (PUE), followed by 90 kg P ha^-1. From the results it was concluded that most of the agronomic and quality parameters of wheat were higher with integrated use of 120 kg P ha^-1 and poultry manure under deep tillage system. Therefore, it is recommended that application of 120 kg P ha^-1 along with poultry manure and deep tillage system could increase wheat productivity and profitability under semi-arid climate of Peshawar.
