Abstract:
Comparative study was conducted for sowing of wheat with dibbling, drilling and BBF methods. Grain yield in dibbling method was high (26.34 q/ha) but it is not economical in terms of Labours cost for sowing. Grain weight of 10 plants (131.15gm), Weight of Straw and dry matter (78.35gm) and Whole weight of plants (209.50gm) was high in drilling methods. It was analyzed the input energy, energy output, net energy and energy use efficiency of three different sowing methods of wheat. The total energy input were 15663.57 MJ/ha, 13923.37MJ/ha and 13513.73 MJ/ha while total output energy were 52344.8MJ/ha, 44865.3 MJ/ha and 43799.8 MJ/ha for dibbling, drilling and BBF sowing methods of wheat respectively.
