Effect of weather parameter on growth and development of wheat under different growing environment

Abstract

The present investigation entitled “Effect of weather parameter on growth and development of wheat under different growing environment” was carried out during Rabi seasons of 2016-17 at Research and Instructional Farm of Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur to examine to validate the results of crop weather relationship of different wheat varieties grown under different growing environments in factorial Randomized Block Design. Some of the important points that emerged from the study are summarized in the present chapter. Among the growth parameters plant height recorded significantly higher in early date of sowing i.e. 1st December as compared to other growing environments (sowing on 11th and 12th December). The interaction of date of sowing with different variety of wheat crop were founds significantly influenced on plant height of crops at 40 DAS and 100 DAS stages. Significantly maximum number of leaves per plant was found with 1st December of sowing. The interaction effect of different date of sowing and varieties were found significant at 60 DAS. Number of tillers per plants were found significantly influenced due to different date of sowing and different variety at 40 DAS. At 20 and 80 DAS plant accumulated significantly higher value of dry matter in crop sown on 1st December 2016.
