A field experiment was conducted at Hisar during rabi season of 2007–08 to study the effect of different agronomic management practices on growth, yield and quality of late sown wheat(Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori & Paol.). Dry seeding with overnight soaked seed on 15 December with 25% higher seed rate followed by irrigation produced higher grain and biological yield followed by dry seeding with 25% higher seed rate on 15 December followed by irrigation. Crop germination was earlier by 2 days when sowing with soaked seeds was adopted.
