Abstract

Planting methods performs crucial role in placement of seed at right depth, which in the end influences crop growth. The selection of suitable method of planting depends upon the time of planting, availability of soil water at planting time, residue amount with inside the field. During the 2020-21 Rabi season, a field trial was carried out at the SHUATS crop research farm in Prayagraj to study the Influence of sowing methods and seaweed (Kappaphycus alvarezii) extract on the growth and yield of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The experiment was laid out in a random block design, three sowing methods were retained, i.e. S1 - Broadcasting, S2 – Line sowing, and S3 – System of Wheat Intensification and Seaweed extract (Kappaphycus alvarezii) and which was replicated three times. With the treatment of Line sowing +7.5 % K sap recorded significantly higher in plant height (76.87 cm), test weight (36.99 g), grain yield (3.57 t/ha), and stover yield (5.07 t/ha) results were recorded.

Conclusion

On the basis of one season experimentation treatment combination with Line sowing + 7.5% K sap was found more productive (3.57 t/ha).
