Effect of Nitrogen Levels and Number of Irrigation on Growth and Yield of Wheat

A field experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of nitrogen levels and irrigation on the growth and yield of wheat (Treaticum aestivum L. emend fiory and Paol) var.WH-331 in the Bundelkhand region of U.P. The experiment includes two factors such as four irrigation regimes and four nitrogen levels. The treatments were compared under the factorial R.B.D. with three replications. The soil of the experimental field was 'paruwa' (silty loam) according to the type of Bundelkhand soil having soil pH (7.6) low in available nitrogen and organic carbon; medium in available phosphorus and high in available potassium. Yield and yield contributing factors were significantly affected by different doses of nitrogen and irrigation regimes.120:60:60 kg NPK/ha application and fourth irrigation have found most suitable and economic combination for wheat crop under the existing conditions of Bundelkhand region in U.P.
