Abstract
Dual purpose wheat i.e., for grain as well as for green fodder purposes is a novel concept in the world. In view of this, the experiment was conducted on Research Farm of Agronomy, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during rabi season of 2017–2018 and 2018–2019 to study the effect of different seed rates and fertilizer levels on green fodder, grain productivity and economics of dual purpose wheat in western Haryana. The field experiment was laid out in split plot design with two varieties i.e., C 306 and WH 1105 with cutting management practices in main plots and different seed rates with various fertilizer levels in sub plots. Significantly higher green fodder yield, yield attributes, NPK, protein and crude protein content of green fodder were observed in cultivar WH 1105 over C 306 and wheat supplied with 130% RDF over 115 and 100% RDF with either seed rate. Cultivation of C 306 under cut management practices sown at 125 kg/ha seed rate with 130% RDF was observed more economical with higher B-C ratio than WH 1105 and no cut management system.
