Crop phenology and growth of zero till wheat as affected by different sowing dates and preceding cultivars of direct-seeded rice under rice-wheat system
Author(s): Sucheta Dahiya and SS Punia
Abstract: An experiment was conducted to determine the phenology and growth of the zero till wheat crop as affected by different sowing dates and preceded cultivars of direct seeded rice under rice- wheat cropping system during Rabi 2014-15 and 2015-16 at CIMMYT-CSISA, Research Farm, CSSRI, Karnal, Haryana. The experiment consisted of thirty-six treatment combinations, comprising of four main plots (Sowing dates) and three sub- plots (preceded cultivars) which were replicated thrice. The seeds of wheat variety HD- 2967 is notified by Government of India. Growth parameters including establishment of plant/m2, biomass and LAI at 30, 60, 90, 120 and at harvest, phenology parameters including days taken to 50% spike emergence, days taken to 50% anthesis (flowering) and days taken to 20% physiological maturity of wheat crop during the experimental years of 2014-15 and 2015-16.Maximum established plants per metre square, biomass and LAI was recorded with early sowing of 1st November whereas under phenology maximum days taken by spike emergence, anthesis and physiological maturity was recorded where early sowing was done during both the experimental years.
