Abstract


An experiment was carried out during the two consecutive winter seasons of 1978-79 and 1979-80 in the Agricultural Farm of Banaras Hindu University with four wheat varieties and five radiation doses to find out their growth pattern and yield under rainfod condition." Among the varieties Kalyan Sona exhibited higher growth values and yield in both the years, closely followed by UP-262 and in the case of radiation doses the seeds treated with 6kr superseded all other doses in these characters except plant height where 3 kr produced the tallest plant, Futther more, yield was found to be positively correlated with leaf number tiller number and dry weight per plant and negatively correlated with plant height.
