Abstract:
The field experiment was conducted for six years during 2015-16 to 2020-21 at the Organic Farming Unit, MPUAT, Udaipur, Rajasthan, to evaluate the yield performance of different varieties of bread, durum and local wheat under sub-humid conditions of southern plains and Aravalli Hills of Rajasthan. Results revealed that among the 12 varieties of wheat tested under organic production system, the maximum grain yield (5704 kg/ha) was obtained from durum wheat variety HI-8713 followed by durum wheat variety HI-8663 (5007 kg/ha grain yield). Under organic farming, the durum wheat variety HI-8713 recorded maximum net profit of Rs. 164114/ha followed by durum wheat variety HI-8713 recorded net profit of Rs.137997/ha. The difference in yield of wheat varieties under organic farming ranged from 34.01 to 57.04 q/ha, with maximum of 57.04 q/ha in variety HI-8713 and the lowest of 34.01 q/ha in the variety HI-1500.
