Effect of Irrigation Intervals, Post-sowing Planking and Sowing Methods on Wheat

Abstract

A field experiment with four irrigation intervals and two methods of sowing seeds and drilling fertilizer with and without post sowing planking was conducted in 1970-71 and 1971-72. Higher yield was obtained when irrigation was given at 16 days intervals. Water use efficiency varied with the wheat varieties tested. Post sowing planking was found to be a waste and dispensing with this practice increased the grain yieldby 2.5 q/ha. in wheat.
