Abstract

An experiment was conducted at Malakandher Research Farms NWFP Agricultural University Peshawar, Pakistan during 2000 to study the effect of different planting dates, seed rates and nitrogen levels on wheat variety Fakhare Sarhad. Analysis of the data revealed that days to emergence, emergence m-2, tillers m-2, days to heading and plant height was significantly affected by different planting dates, seed rates and nitrogen levels while the effect of planting dates and nitrogen levels was significant on days to maturity, 1000 grain weight and grain yield. Early sowing (25th October) had significantly maximum tillers m-2, days to heading, days to maturity, plant height and grain yield. Among seeding densities higher seed rate (100 or 125 kg ha-1) had more days to emergence and tillers m-2. Plots treated with 160 kg N ha-1 recorded maximum days to emergence, emergence m-2, tillers m-2, days to maturity, plant height and grain yield.
