Influence of flat and bed sowing methods on growth and yield parameters of wheat in rice-wheat cropping system

Azhar Mahmood, Anwar Javaid Wahla, Rashid Mahmood et al.

Abstract


A field experiment was conducted to compare the response of wheat crop in rice-wheat cropping system to flat and bed sowing methods. The experiment was comprised of triple-row and double-row bed planting with bed planter and a single row flat sowing with Rabi drill. Maximum germination count, number of productive tillers, grains per spike, 1000-grains weight and grain yield (kg ha-1) were observed in triple-row bed planting followed by double-row bed planting and drill sowing. The grain yield obtained in triple-row (3953 kg ha-1) and double-row (3728 kg ha-1) bed planting methods, was 17% and 11%, respectively more than that of flat sowing (3364 kg ha-1). It is thus concluded that triple-row bed planting is the most appropriate method of wheat sowing after rice.
