Abstract

Growth and development of individual plant is generally modified with space available to it. The performance of divergent wheat cultivars sown under different row spacing was evaluated in a field experiment performed at the Agronomic Research Area, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Technology, Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan, Pakistan during rabi season 2011-2012. The experimental setup was randomized complete block design (RCBD) with split plot arrangement replicated thrice. The main plots comprised of broadcast along with row spacings 10, 20 and 30 cm while five wheat cultivars i.e., Bhakar 2002, Seher 2006, Shafaq 2006, Faisalabad 2008 and Lasani 2008 were allocated in sub plots. The row spacing exhibited substantial effects on growth, yield and yield related attributes of wheat cultivars under study. The significant increase in LAI, LAD, CGR, number of fertile tillers per m
