Abstract:

Number of plant emergence/m2 and 1000 grain weight were significantly affected by seed rates. The number of plants emerged per unit area increased while 1000 grain weight decreased with increase in seed rates. The effect of seed rates on productive tillers/m2, seed grade recovery and grain yield ha-1 were not significant. Emergence/m2, productive tillers/m2, 1000 grain weight, seed grade recovery and grain yield ha-1 significantly decreased as the sowing was delayed from the first week of November till the third week of December. In overall, November sowing was superior to the December sowing.33.11:631.8 Wheat Fertilizers
