Abstract:
The field experiment was conducted consisted of four thermal environments (E₁:15^th November, E₂:30^th November, E₃:15^th December, E₄:30 December) and three sowing methods (M₁: Broadcast, M₂: Line sowing and M₃: Bed planting) with three replications in Split Plot Design. Results revealed that grain yield maximum (5262 and 4941 kg ha^-1) were found significantly higher in 15^th November sowing environment as compared to other sowing environments. Grain yield (5050 and 4761 kg ha^-1) were found significantly higher in bed planting method than other methods. Grain yield reported significant positive correlation with harvest index (r=0.979) followed by hectolitre weight (r=0.947), iron (r=0.931), zinc (r=0.924), straw yield (r=0.909) and test weight (r=0.896), indicating that increase in these traits would increase grain yield while, significant negative association was reported for grain hardness (r=-0.735) and gluten index (r=-0.649).
