An experiment was conducted to find out the effect of tillage and nitrogen management on the productivity of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori & Paol.) after rice (Oryza sativa L.) during winter seasons of 1997-98 and 1998-99 at Faizabad, Uttar Pradesh. Sowing of wheat by Chinese seeder recorder significantly higher val- ues of growth characters, yield attributes, yield and nitrogen uptake by wheat followed by Pantnagar zero till drill and lowest in conventional tillage. Chinese seeder recorded 23.83 and 25.85% more grain yield over conven- tional tillage during first and second year respectively. All the growth characters, yield attributes, yield and N up- take were significantly higher with 150 kg N/ha over 120 kg Nlha. Application of N as half basal + half after first ir- rigation recorded significantly higher yield and N uptake over rest of the treatments but test weight was higher with the application of N as half after first irrigation + half after second irrigation.References
