An assessment of recommended seed rate of wheat (Triticumaestivum L.) for higher yield and income in Jaipur district of Rajasthan

The present study was carried out at farmers field of Jaipur district of Rajasthan during Rabi 2018–19 and Rabi 2019–20 which falls in agro climatic zone III a (Semi-arid eastern plain) of Rajasthan. The soils of experimental field was sandy loam in texture normal in reaction (pH 7.0 -8.5) low in organic matter (0.19–0.46) and available nitrogen (85 kg/ha-220 kg/ha) low to medium available phosphorus (10 kg/ha-21kg/ha) and medium to high in available potassium (125 kg/ha-295kg/ha) the study consist two treatments i.e. T₁-Control (Farmers practice 150 kg/ha seed rate) and T₂- Recommended practice (100 kg/ha seed) on the basis of two year mean data regarding wheat yield and yield attributes. The result shows higher yield and yield attributes in recommended practice (100kg seed ha⁻¹) than farmers practice i.e.150 kg seed ha⁻¹
