Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season 2020-21 at Experimental farm of University Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Chandigarh University, Gharuan (Mohali) to study the impact of different sowing methods and crop residue management on yield and economics of wheat in Punjab. The experiment comprised of 7 treatments of different combinations of sowing methods and crop residues viz. mould board plough + crop residue, zero tillage + crop residue, dibbler + crop residue, happy seeder + crop residue, rotavator + crop residue, seed drill + crop residue and control. The experimental design was RBD (Randomized block design) with three replications. Results revealed that yield attributes, grain yield and straw yield of wheat were increased with the use of mould board plough + crop residue. The yield attributes and yield of the crop were highest with the use of mould board plough + crop residue. Sowing method (mould board plough) and crop residue management significantly increased the grain yield of wheat over untreated plot (control) by 48.85 per cent. Mould board plough + crop residue recorded maximum net returns per rupee invested (1.31) over control (0.51).
