Title: EFFECT OF WATER SUPPLY ON THE YIELD AND WATER-USE EFFICIENCY IN WINTER WHEAT
Abstract: In a controlled irrigation experiment,winter wheat was grown with different water treatments to study their effect on the yield,water use efficiency and water consumption and on the contribution of various yield-forming characters to grain yield of the crop.Of all the treatments adopted,the treatment of double irrigation(made at the stem-elongation and heading stages) gave the best result.Irrigation was in a parabolic relation with yield and in a logarithmic relation with water use efficiency.Of the wheat varieties studied,the variety 6365 performed best,with outstanding drought tolerance and high yield potential.
