Abstract
Four sowing methods; mechanical drill, porn (sowing with the simplest form of drill consisting of a pipe with a funnel and attached with the plough in which seeds are put by hand one by one); kera (sowing in furrows of the plough by hand) and broadcast, were evaluated and compared for yield and yield components of wheat variety 'Lyallpur-73', under agro-climatic conditions of Islamabad. Sowing methods imparted significant differences in plant height, tillering and grain yield. The maximum tillers per square meter (389) and grain yield (4.83 kg/plot of 22.5m2) was obtained when the crop was sown by drill method. Differences among the other yield components such as number and weight of grains/spike and 1000grain weight were statistically non-significant. Planking after sowing had no significant effect. Interaction between planking and sowing methods was non-significant.
