Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2019 at Crop Research Center of Chandigarh. University, Gharuan (Mohali) to study the effect of different sowing methods and seed rate on the growth and yield of.wheat. There were total six treatments comprising of wheat with treatment details were M1: FIRB (Furrow Irrigated Raised Bed), M2: Seed drill, S1: 120 kg/ha seed rate, S2: 100 kg/ha seed rate, S3: 90 kg/ha seed rate, S4: 80 kg/ha seed rate. The experiment was laid down in split plot design with three replications with different sowing methods as main plots and seed rate as sub plot treatments. Growth parameters i.e. plant height (69.53 cm) at harvesting in treatment S2 followed by treatment M2 (67.47 cm), number of effective tillers at harvesting in treatment S2 (4.18) followed by treatment M2 (4.05), dry matter accumulation at harvesting in treatment S2 (115.13) followed by treatment M2 (113.39), yield attributes, grain yield highest in treatment S2.(42.83 kg/ha) followed by treatment M2 (37.70 kg/ha) and straw yield recorded highest in treatment S2 (50.62 kg/ha) followed by treatment M2 (47.76 kg/ha). Which were more in case of treatment of seed rate was S2: (100 kg/ha). And among different sowing methods, M2: (seed drill) gave the best results. Highest net returns ₹ 45086 and net returns per rupee invested of ₹ 2.20 was recorded in treatment S2 followed by treatment M2 in which net returns ₹ 36275 and net returns per rupee invested of ₹ 1.99.
