Abstract:
The objective of this study was to develop options through different wheat cultivar and direction of sowing a field experiment was carried out at Agromet Research Farm of Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Ayodhya (U.P.) during Rabi season of 2016-17. With six treatments consisted of three cultivar of wheat and two direction of sowing. The experiment was conducted in Factorial Randomized Block Design with four replications and the result was revealed that all the growth characters like plant height, dry matter accumulation, number of tillers, leaf area index were significantly higher under East-West direction of sowing over North-South direction of sowing. Among the all cultivars PBW-343 was found significantly superior over NW-1012 (except plant height maximum at NW-1012 at par with PBW-343 and significantly superior over HUW-234) and HUW-234. The grain yield, straw yield and solar light interception were increased significantly under East-West direction of sowing and among the cultivar PBW-343 recoded significantly higher value of above characters over NW-1012 and HUW-234. The maximum net return (Rs. 64058 ha^-1) and B:C ratio 1.53 were obtained at E-W direction of sowing along with cultivar PBW-343. Thus it may be concluded that sowing in East-West direction with cultivar PBW-343 wasfound most suitable for cultivation under Eastern UP.
