Performance of Nitrogen on growth seed quality and productivity of wheat(Triheum aestivum L.)

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of the year 2012-13, at Agricultural farm, Bundelkhaod University, Shansi (U.R.), to find out the effect of different levels of Nitrogen, and seed rate on seed yield and other characters on 'Raj-3077' variety of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) at different levels 100, 120 and 140 kg/ha Nitrogen and 100, 125 and 150 kg/ha. Seed rate significantly out yielded the 100 kg/ha Nitrogen and seed rate in grain yield, biological yield. Almost similar results were obtained in case of plant height, number of functional leaves', spike length (cm.), spike ear-% germination % and purity %. The application of 140 kg 1st/ha and 150 kg seed rate/ha was the best combination for getting higher grain yield with its better quality.
