Abstract:
The right sowing technique is essential for placing the seed at the right depth, which gives a better crop stand and, eventually, a higher crop yield. In order to assess the effectiveness of various planting methods on wheat productivity, an experiment will be carried out in 2021-22 at the Post Graduate Agriculture Research Station, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. Different sowing techniques will be used in main plot (bed planting, zero-till, and flat sowing). In sub plot for the experiment, Akbar-2019 and Zincol-1016 wheat varieties will be used. The experiment will be conducted using a randomized complete block design with three replications under split plot arrangement. The parameters related to crop growth and yield such as plant height (cm), number of tiller, number of productive tillers, number of spikelets per spike, spike length, biological yield (kg ha-1), 1000 grains weight (g), and grain yield (kg ha-1) will be recorded from different sowing methods. The statistical analysis of the collected data will be done using Fisher's analysis of variance, and the means of the different treatments will be compared using HSD at a 5% confidence level.
