Abstract
The experiment was conducted to study the effect of sowing depth on the yield of spring wheat. The experiment consisted of two factors i.e. three sowing depth viz. 2 cm, 4 cm, 8 cm and two modern wheat varieties viz. Bijoy and Prodip. A randomized complete block design was adopted with three replications. Results indicated that the effect of sowing depth was significant on almost all the parameters except spike length. Sowing on 4 cm depth gave the highest grain yield (3.88 t ha-1) followed by 2 cm (3.75 t ha-1) and 8 cm sowing depth (3.62 t ha-1). Significant variation was found due to different varieties in respect of all the parameters studied. Bijoy produced the highest grain yield (3.92 t ha-1) and the lowest one was produced by Prodip (3.57 t ha-1). Bijoy produced the highest grain yield (4.06 t ha-1) when sown on 4 cm depth.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jesnr.v7i1.22184 J. Environ. Sci. & Natural Resources, 7(1): 277-280 2014
