Effect of thiourea on wheat yield attributes under frontline demonstrations

Field trails were conducted in farmers fields of Kheda district of Gujarat state under frontline demonstration to study the effect of thiourea on wheat crop during Rabi 2011–12 and 2012–13. Twenty eight farmers were selected from two adopted villages of Matar Taluka of Kheda district for laying out the trials. The results revealed that application of thiourea (500 ppm) at vegetative and ear emergence stage gave higher seed yield, net return and B:C ratio as compared to farmers practices. On an average there was increase of 7.42 and 7.16 per cent during 2011–12 and 2012–13 respectively over farmers practices in grain yield in wheat crop under demonstration plots.
