Abstract:
The particulars of experimental material used and techniques adopted during the course of investigation entitled ^“Find out the suitable method of sowing and seed rate on growth and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) crop”. Field experiment was carried out during rabi season of 2021-22 at Agricultural Research Farm of Faculty of Agriculture sciences and allied Industries Rama University, Mandhana Kanpur (U.P). The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized block design with three replications keeping four seed rate 80 kg/ha, 100 kg/ha, 125 kg/ha and 150 kg/ha with combination three sowing methods broadcasting, line sowing raised bed. Results revealed that among the practices treatment combination 80 kg/ha seed rate and sowing method raised bed proved as superior than other treatments with respect to higher crop growth and yield attributes where as plant height, number of tillers m^-2, length of spike, grain per spike, test weight of 1000 grain grain and straw yield. Maximum gross return was found with 80 kg/ha seed rate and sowing method raised bed and cost of cultivation was found with 150 kg/ha and raised bed treatment combination. While maximum net return was found with treatment combination 80 kg/ha seed rate and sowing method raised bed. Maximum B:C ratio was obtained in combination of 80 kg/ha seed rate and sowing method raised bed. The planting was done on 4^th December 2021. Among the various treatment combination 80 kg/ha seed rate and sowing method raised bed recorded highest B:C ratio and yield.
