Abstract:
A field study was conducted at Student Instructional Farms of the Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya, (UP) during Rabi season 2020-21 and 2021-22 to find out the impact of dates of sowing on growth and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The experiment consists of three different dates of sowing which was 25-30 Nov., 10-15 Dec. and 01-05 Jan. with three replications (var. NW-5054). The results revealed that the wheat sown on 25^th – 30^th November produced maximum field emergence, plant height at 30, 60, 90DAS and at maturity, tillers/plant at 30, 60, 90DAS and at maturity, tillers/m², spike length, spikelet’s/spike, seed/spike, straw yield, biological yield and seed yield followed by 10^th – 15^th December.
