EFFECT OF SOWING DATES AND WHEAT CULTIVARS IN LATE SOWN CONDITION

Abstract

                                A field experiment was conducted on clay loam soil during rabi seasons of 1986'-87 and 1987-88 at the New Dairy Farm of C.S.A.University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur (U.P.) to find out the effect of sowing dates and wheat cultivars in late sown condition. It was observed that December 5 sown crop gave highest yield than crops sown subsequently. However, December 5 sown crop being at par with December 20, sowing produced significantly more yield than January 6 sowing. Among cultivars, UP-115 being at par with K 816, HW 135, Sonalika and HP 1209 gave significantly higher yield than HUW 37. HD 1982 and K 7410. December 5 sown crop gave the highest returns with the highest net profit derived from UP.115 in late sown condition.
