Abstract:
The field experiment was conducted during Rabi season, 2020 at Crop Research Farm (CRF), Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (UP) On sandy loam soil to investigate the Agronomic evaluation of late sown Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes on growth and yield under irrigated condition of Allahabad. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design consisting of 12 treatments and four replications with different genotypes. Study revealed that (NELS-206) maximum plant height (102.09 cm), highest plant dry weight (21.23g) and number of tillers (13.50) was recorded significantly as compared to all the genotypes. The yield attributes viz., maximum number of grains/spike (46.56), maximum length of the spike (14.13), maximum test weight (40.63 g), maximum grain yield (4.26 t/ha), maximum straw yield (5.65 t/ha) and maximum harvest index (42.84%) were recorded with (NELS-206). Highest gross returns (96,969.94 INR/ha), net return (67,601.94 INR/ha) and Benefit cost ratio (2.30) was also recorded in NELS-206 genotype.
