Title: Performance of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Cultivars under System of Wheat Intensification and Conventional Methods of Sowing
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to determine the study of varieties as influenced by system of planting and spacing on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) during the winter season (Rabi) of 2019.The experiment consists of 9 treatments with 3 replications laid out in a randomized block design.Three cultivars and Methods of sowing i.e. conventional, SWI at 15×15cm, SWI at 20×20cm at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture, SHUATS, Prayagraj (Allahabad).System of wheat intensification significantly influenced the growth parameters, yield attribute characters and yield.The result concluded that the treatment (20×20 cm + SHIATS W6) recorded highest plant height (89.9 cm).Maximum number of tillers (13.1),Maximum plant dry weight (29.17 g), Maximum number of effective tillers/hill (12.2) was recorded with treatment (20×20 cm + PBW343).However, higher grain yield (5.51 t/ha), straw yield (6.41 t/ha) and benefit cost ratio (2.67) recorded with (15×15 cm + SHIATS W6).
