Effect of split dose of nitrogen fertilizer on the yield and yield components of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Abstract

The research was carried out to evaluate Effect of split dose of nitrogen fertilizer on the yield and yield components of wheat on the yield and yield components of wheat. Variety that used in the experiment was HD 2967. The experiment was to determine which split application of nitrogenous fertilizer (T1 in single dose; T2 in two split and T3 in three split) is more suitable to the particular locality under a commercial point of view. It was found that three split applications of nitrogen fertilizer in wheat was able to show better results. All the biometric parameters such as dry matter accumulation, number of spikelet per plant, 1000 seed weight and grain yield which were observed during the experiment gave better result in T3 treatment (three split of N fertilizer). It was concluded from the present experiment that three split of N fertilizer in wheat showed more promising results then single and two split of N fertilizer.
