Effect Of Irrigation Time And Nitrogen Level On Wheat (Triticum-Aestivum) Under Late-Sown Condition Of Western Uttar-Pradesh

An experiment was conducted at Lakhaoti to compare 4 doses of nitrogen (0, 40, 80 and 120 kg/ha) at different times of first irrigation (20, 27, 24 and 41 days after sowing) in late-sown wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori & Paol.). Delay in the first irrigation beyond 27 days after sowing reduced the yield of wheat. Maximum yield of wheat was obtained with 120 kg N/ha and first irrigation at 20 or 27 days after sowing.
