ThesisItem Open Access Effect of split application of nitrogen on growth and quality parameters of different wheat cultivars(CCSHAU, 2006) Kathwal, Rajesh; Thakral, S.K.ThesisItem Open Access Effect of split application of nitrogen on growth and quality parameters of different wheat cultivars(CCSHAU, 2005) Kathwal, Rajesh; Thakral, S.K.The field study entitled, “ Effect of split application of nitrogen on growth and quality parameters of different wheat cultivars” was conducted at Agronomy Research Farm of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during winter (rabi) season of 2002-2003. The experiment was laid out in split-plot design allocating five-split application of nitrogen i.e., I) ½ N basal+1/2 N at first irrigation, II) 1/3 N basal+2/3 N at first node, III) 1/3 N basal+1/3 N at first irrigation+1/3 N at first node, IV) ¼ N basal+1/2 N at first node+1/4 N at milking stage, and V) Full dose of nitrogen at first node in main plots with five different wheat varieties i.e., WH 595, WH 283, PBW 343, WH 912 and WH 896 in sub-plots, replicated thrice. Among the five split application of nitrogen, 1/3 + 2/3 at first node significantly higher in growth characters, yield and yield attributes, NPK content, NPK uptake and protein content followed by 1/3 N basal+1/3N at first irrigation+1/3 N at first node. Split application of nitrogen ¼ N basal+1/2 Nat first node+1/4 N at milking stage significantly higher in 1000-grain weight, sedimentation value, beta-carotene and hectoliter weight. Among the varieties, PBW 343 is superior in growth habits, yield and yield attributing characters, NPK content, NPK uptake and protein content. Variety WH 896 significantly higher in sedimentation value, beta-carotene content and hectoliter weight.
