Abstract

This field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2002–03 to study the response of wheat varieties to levels of fertilizer in Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh. Among four varieties WH - 147 was found superior to PVW - 343, K - 8434 and K - 8804 in grain yield and yield attributing characters viz. number of ears/plant, weight of grains/plant, 1000 seed weight, length of ear and see yield. Increasing dose of fertilizers significantly influenced yield attributing characters and yield. However, in relation to fertilizer levels more yield were recorded with 120:60:40 N+P+K kg/ha.
