Effect of crop growing environment on yield and yield components of wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.)

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during the Rabi season of 2015 to access the “Effect of crop growing environment & yield and yield components of wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.)” in silty loam soil at Agro-meteorological Research Farm, N.D. University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj, Faizabad. The experiment was conducted with Randomized block design and replicated four times with nine treatments combinations consisted of three dates of sowing viz. S1 (15th November), S2 (30th November) and S3 (15th December) and three cultivars viz. V1 (PBW-373), V2 (DBW-17) and V3 (PBW-550). Plant height, number of tillers, leaf area index, dry matter, and yield attributes parameters were recorded at different growth stages. All the biometric parameters decreased with delay in sowing. Among the different varieties of wheat.
