EFFECT OF VARIETY AND CULTURE METHOD ON THE YIELD AND YIELD ATTRIBUTES OF WHEAT (Pages : 17 - 21)

An experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh to examine the effect of variety and culture method on the yield and yield components of wheat. Four varieties viz. Kanchan, Protiva, Gourab and Sotabdi and two culture methods viz. bed planting and conventional method were included as experimental treatments. From the study it was found that the different varieties significantly influenced the grain yield, straw yield, number of tillers plant -1 , number of effective tillers plant -1 , number of filled grains spike-1 and 1000 grain weight. These characters were also significantly influenced by the culture method. The variety Sotabdi produced the highest grain yield (2.94 t ha-1 ) and Kanchan produced the lowest grain yield (1.44 t ha-1 ). Higher grain yield (1.97 t ha-1 ) was produced by bed planting method than conventional method. The interaction effect of variety and culture method had significant influence on all the crop characters except few. All the variety gave higher yield under bed planting method and the variety Satabdi gave the higher grain yield (2.31 t ha-1 ). It is concluded that bed planting is better culture method for wheat production. Download
