Evaluation of wheat yield in different growing environments

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at the Agrometeorology research farm, Indira Gandhi Krishi vishwavidhyalaya, Raipur (C. G.) during 2017 - 18 to evaluate the influence of variety and date of sowing on yield of wheat. The experiment consisted three wheat variety viz., CG1013, HD2967 and Kanchan and three sowing date viz., 25 November (D1),), 05 December (D2) and 15 December (D3). Result revealed that First data of sowing had more duration from sowing to maturity as compared to delayed sowing. Maximum grain yield was observed in first date of sowing (25 Nov) as compared to delayed sowing, highest grain yield 4077.6 kg/ha was recorded in D1 followed by D2 (3895.5 kg/ha) and D3 (3684.5 kg/ha), respectively. In varieties, Kanchan showed maximum grain yield (4093.4 kg/ha) followed by CG 1013 (3908.3 kg/ha) and HD 2967 (3655.9 kg/ha), respectively.
