Wheat is grown in India in 6 wheat growing zones, both under irrigated and dry land conditions with a lot of variation in yield. Agronomic practices such as planting pattern, seeding rate, nitrogen (N) application strategy as well as cultivars influences the pattern of use of soil water [1]. Despite sizeable area under dry land condition, production is very low mainly due to lack of proper adaptation of agro-technology. Although, there is sufficient scope to increase the dry land wheat productivity by treating seed with 1% Potassium salts, sowing drought tolerant varieties on or before 20th November in moist zone that gives more yield as compared to delayed sowing. Fertilizer application in the moist zone @ 50, 45 and 30 Kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1, and one foliar application @ 2 % urea performed best under dry-land conditio...

Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur, to study the effect of FYM and Urea as basal source, along with leaf colour Chart (LCC) based nitrogen (N) top dressing in three different rice cultivars. Yield attributes viz., number of panicle (m), panicle length (cm) number of grains per panicle differed significantly by different rice cultivars and LCC scores. Among rice cultivars PA-6444 recorded significantly highest number of panicle (307.62 m) over PHB-71 (291.17 m) and NDR-359 (275.38 m). Although, panicle length (28.80 cm) and number of grains per panicle (229.97) was recorded significantly higher in NDR-359, over both the remaining cultivars. Among rice cultivars significantly maximum grain yield (59.21 q ha), and biological yield (140.10 q ha) recorded by PA-6444. With grain (53.98 q ha), biological yield (127.91 q ha), PHB-71 found superior over grain (50.40 q ha) biological y...
