Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study included three cultivars of wheat Norteno 67. Sonora 64 and Sonalika and five different methods of planting such as line sowing. dibbling. broadcasting, transplanting in dry and transplanting in wet conditions. Results reveal that there was no significant varietal difference in respect of 'grain yield. The method of planting exerted significant effect upon the grain yield while transplanting in dry and wet conditions. dibblinging and broadcast sowing produced identical grain yield indicating that the dibbling and broadcast method of planting of wheat ha j no advantage over transplanting. The response of straw yield was similar to that of grain yield.

Keywords: Methods of planting. Wheat, Growth. Yield.

Location: At the Agronomy Field Laboratory of the Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh

Start Date: 00-11-1979

End Date: 00-03-1980

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Wheat

Objectives:

To explore the possibilities of growing wheat as a transplanted crop.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory of the Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from November 1979 to March 1980. The soil of the land was sandy loam with pH 6.5. The experimental treatment included three cultivars of wheat namely Norteno 67, Sonora 64 Sonalika and five different methods of planting namely; line sowing l20cmx10cm) dibbling (20cm x t Ocm) broadcasting, dry and Vliet transplanting, (20cmxl0cm). Randomized block design was used in the experiment with three replications. The size of unit plot was 9m2• The land was prepared well and was fertili- zed with 80, 40, 60 kg/ha of N, P205 and K₂0 supplied from urea, triple super phosphate and muriete of potash. The whole amount of triple superphosphate muriate of potash and half of urea were applied at the final preparation of land. The seeds were sown on 24th Novem- ber for direct seeded treatments. For transplanting treatments the seeds were also sown on the same day. Necessary cultural operations, such as, weeding irrigating, mulchlnq, etc. were done as and when required from time to time in order to provide adequate facilities for proper growth and development. Crops of all plots were harvested on 27th March, 1980. The relevant data pertaining to crop characters ware collected from the randomly selected plants from each unit plot. The collected data were analyzed statistically and the mean differences ware adjudged by the Dun, can's New Multiple Range Test.
