Three field trials were conducted during winter (rabo seasons of 1996-97 and 1997-98 on the farmers fields under National Watershed Research Project, Kaldakhedi, Khandwa (East Nimar) of Madhya Pradesh. Sowing of wheat in fourth week of November proved significantly better than the earlier or later sowing dates, significantly maximum seed yield being 41.4 qlha and net return up to Rs 20,738lha. Fertilizer placement below the seed proved significantly superior to that of fertilizer mixed with seed (farmers practice), and the significantly maximum seed yield being 40.15 qlha and net return Rs 19,7981ha. Seed rate of 125 kglha was found significantly superior to lower or higher seed rates. The highest value of seed yield and net return was 41.8 q/ha and Rs 20,8181ha respectively.References
