Abstract:
The field experiment was conducted during rabi season 2015-16 to generate the ground truth data of wheat crop. The experiment was conducted in Split Plot Design and replicated four times. The treatment comprised of three dates of sowing viz. 25^th November (D₁), 10^th December (D₂) and 25^th December (D₃) kept as a main plot with three varieties viz. PBW-343 (V₁), PWB-502 (V₂) and LOKE-1 (V₃) kept as a subplot. The crop weather condition overestimated the accumulation heat unit/ Thermal unit (GDD), Solar radiation interception (MJm²), Temperature during growth stages, Relative humidity above and below crop canopy (%), Soil temperature (⁰C) The phenological events were close to observed values in timely sown crop suggested that the yield was well within the accepted limits, therefore the predicting wheat phenological events in the regions of Uttar Pradesh, where experiment was conducted.
