ABSTRACT
An experiment was conducted during rabi season 2014-15 and 2015-16 at farmer field of village Akalgarh, Yamunanagar, Haryana (India) in semi-arid subtropical climate. The experiment was conducted on loamy texture soil to study the growth and productivity of wheat as affected by crop establishment methods and different seed rate. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications keeping four crop establishment methods viz. zero tillage with residue retention, zero tillage without residue, conventional methods of broadcasting and line sowing in main plots and three seed rate viz. 75, 100 and 125 kg/ha in sub plots.The results revealed that growth and productivity were recorded significantly higher under zero tillage wheat with rice residue retention as compared to conventional method of broadcasting but it was statistically at par with zero tillage without residue and conventional method of line sowing. Among seed rate, growth parameters and grain yield were produced significantly higher with 125 kg/ha seed rate than 75 kg/ha but it was statistically at par with 100 kg/ha seed rate.
Key words: Growth, productivity, crop, establishment methods, seed rate
