Effect of deep tillage practices under the recommended dose of fertilizer growth and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Cv. PBW 502

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season (November-April) 2018-2019 at the research farm with the objective to evaluate the effect of deep tillage on the physical properties of growth and yield of wheat. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications during Rabi season 2018-2019. The treatment consisted of four levels of tillage practices T1 (12 cm depth of tillage) T2 (22 cm depth of tillage) T3 (32 cm depth of tillage) and T4 (42 cm depth of tillage). The results indicated that deep tillage has a significant effect on Tillage depth influences the soil water plant ecosystem, thereby affecting crop yield. Through the effect of deep tillage was not significant on the growth but the grain yield of wheat significantly increases from 35.00 q ha-1 in T1 (12 cm depth of tillage) to 43.89 q ha-1 in T4 (42 cm depth of tillage).
