Abstract


An experiment was conducted during post rainy seasons of 1990-91 and 1991-92 to study the response of dicoccum wheat to levels of nitrogen and irrigation schedules. The experiment comprised of three irrigation schedules (at CRI, CRI + BL and CRI + T + BL + F + D) and four nitrogen levels (0,30,60 and 90 kg/ha). Grain yield increased with an increase in the number of irrigations. The maximum wheat grain yield (19.0 q/ha) was recorded with the irrigations scheduled at different critical stages (at CRI + T + BL + F + D) compared to other irrigations scheduled at CRI + BL 13.55 (q/ha) or irrigation only at CRI stage 10.35 q/ha. Grain yield also increased with nitrogen application upto 30 kg/ha.
