EFFECT OF IRRIGATION APPLIED AT DIFFERENT GROWTH STAGES ON YIELD CHARACTERS AND YIELD OF HULLED AND HULL-LESS BARLEY

Abstract

Field experiments conducted at Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi during the rabi seasons of 1979-80 and 1980-81, with two barley types in combination with ten levels of irrigation. including the control treatment indicated that significant in- crease in yield characters and yield was observed in hulled barley as compared to hull-less barley The different levels of irrigation did not influence the ear length. However, 1000-grain weight was significantly influenced by irrigation. Grain yields were favoura bly influenced by irrigation up to two to three irrigations depending upon the seasonal variations.
