sowing dates on two crop establishment methods was accomplished to
identify the optimum sowing date at AFU Rampur during winter
season of 2014/2015. Three wheat varieties namely: Tillotama, Danfe
and Vijay sown on three dates: 14th November, 29th November, and 14th
December under two crop establishment practices: Conservational and
conventional agriculture were evaluated with strip –split plot design in
three replications. The field data on, crop growth and development,
yield attributes and yields were collected. Earlier sowing on 14th
November gave the highest yield (3427.15 kg ha-1), total dry matter
(8154.44 kg ha-1),with longest days to crop maturation (133.11 days).
In case of varieties, Vijay gave the highest grain yield (3458.61 kg ha-1)
and total dry weight (4456.11 and 8832.42 kg ha-1 respectively) with
earliest days to heading and maturity. The straw yield was the highest
for 29th November sowing (5821 kg ha-1) and for Danfe variety (5756 kg
ha-1). Vijay variety recorded the highest test weight (43.60 g) and
highest harvest index (35.89%) even though with the lowest effective
tillers per square meter (320.83), it proved to be the most promising
variety. | Keywords : | | Conservation agriculture, Sowing date, establishment
