Abstract

Field experiments were conducted on rainfed wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in clay loam soils at Sagar (M.P.) during 1988–89 and 1989–90 to study the effect of seed rates and row spacing. Results revealed that grain and straw yields were maximum with 125 kg seed/ha mainly due to increased productive tillers/m row length. No significant variation in grain and straw yield was observed due to 22.5 and 30.0 cm row spacing, though the growth and yield attributes were numerically superior in 22.5 cm row spacing.
