Abstract
A field experiment was undertaken to extrapolate the effect of different polymer and plant protectants based seed treatment on yield and yield components of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) with cv.HPW-155.The experimental design was randomized block design with three replications. Results interpret that different polymer based seed treatment had significant effect on tillers per plant, plant height (cm), spike length (cm), spikes per plant, spikelet per spike, seeds per spike, 1000-seed weight (g), seed yield per plot (kg), seed yield (q/ha) except days to 50% flowering and days to 75% maturity which had shown non-significant differences. Treatments,T6 - polymer + vitavax 200 @ 2 g/kg of seed and T5 - vitavax 200 @ 2 g/kg seed had shown significant superiority for tillers per plant, plant height (cm), spike length (cm), spikes per plant, spikelets per spike, 1000 - seed weight, seed yield per plot (kg), and seed yield (q/ha) over control (T1- control). Treatment T6 had shown 14.7% gain in seed yield as comapred to untreated control(T1).
