    Survey for quality wheat in three major cropping system zones of Haryana
    (CCSHAU, 2006) Mohinder Singh; Dahiya, S.S.
    Survey for quality wheat in three major cropping system zones in Haryana” comprising 972 farmers in three cropping systems viz. bajra-wheat, cotton-wheat and rice-wheat at 54 locations (villages) of Haryana was conducted to assess the knowledge, practices and attitude of farmers towards quality wheat production. The results of study indicated that 25 percent of farmers were educated upto primary and 74% had joint families. Most of the farmers (72.1 percent) accomplished timely wheat sowing and only 21.7 percent were aware about recommendation of fertilizers and 39.2 percent farmers reported that there was no change in wheat yield. The cropping system, time of sowing, irrigation, nitrogen and seed rate influenced the grain yield. The luster of grains was significantly affected by cropping systems. Protein content wheat grains produced from bajra-wheat cropping system was significantly higher than cotton-wheat and rice-wheat. Protein content was found to be influenced significantly by cropping system, time of sowing, nitrogen doses and seed rate. Rice-wheat and cotton-wheat cropping systems were high yielding zones and bajra-wheat cropping system produced better quality of wheat grains than rice-wheat and cotton-wheat cropping systems.
