Abstract

Planting method plays an important role in the placement of seed at proper depth, which ultimately affects crop growth. The selection of suitable planting method for wheat is dependent upon the time of planting, availability of soil water at planting time, amount of residue in the field. A field experiment was executed during Rabi season of 2020-21 at Crop Research Farm of SHUATS, Prayagraj to study about the influence of different methods of sowing and phosphorus levels on growth and yield of wheat. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD), comprising two factors and 9 treatments, each replicated thrice. In view of this experiment three methods of sowing, i.e. M1 Broadcasting, M2-Line sowing, M3-System of Wheat Intensification as well as and three Phosphorus levels P1- 40 kg/ha, P2-60 kg/ha and P3-80 kg/ha. Maximum values were recorded higher in the application of (T9) SWI+ Phosphorous 80 kg/ha in effective tillers (9.50) and dry weight (17.46 gm). Maximum values w

Conclusion

On the basis of one season experimentation maximum Grain yield (3.37 t/ha), Net returns (` 80,465/ha) and B:C ratio (2.71) was obtained with application of (T8) Line sowing + Phosphorous 80 kg/ha which was significantly superior over all the treatments.
