A field experiment was conducted at Main research Station, Dharwad during rabi 1998-99 to study the response of dicoccum wheat to irrigation schedules and sowing dates In vertisols of nothem kamataka. The data indicated that, scheduling of irrigation at 0.9 IW/CPE ratio recorded significantly higher grain yield (4257 kg/ha) and yield components compared to 0.5 IW/CPE ratio and was on par with 0.7 IW/CPE ratio. Among sowing dates, November 20th sown crop gave higher grain yield (4386 kg/ha) followed by November 5^th sown crop. The higher grain yield was attributed to more number of effective tillers/m row length, grains/ear and 1000 grain weight.
