Depth of sowing, Irrigated wheat, Seed rates, Yield attributes and YieldAbstract
A study was conducted in Kymore Plateau and Satpura Hills regions of Madhya Pradesh during rabi season of 200910, to evaluate the effect of 4 seed rates (40, 60, 80 and 100 kg/ha) and 3 seeding depths (2, 4 and 6 cm) with wheat {Triticum aestivum (L.) emend. Fiori & Paol} variety GW-273. A seed rate of 80 kg/ha and 2 cm sow- ing depth showed maximum leaf area index, yield attributes and yield of wheat under irrigated conditions of Madhya Pradesh.References
