Abstract
Wheat [Triticum aestivum (Linn. Emend. Thell.)] is one of the most important grain crops. Water requirement increases with the advancement in age of the crop. The stage of earing to grain formation is considered as the most critical period due to high rate of evapotranspiration. Delay or failure of irrigation at this stage causes border line water deficit resulting in to yield losses. Use of antitranspirants under such condition works, as one of the best resources to mitigate or even to avoid the adverse effect of water stress. With a view to enlighten such accepts, the studies on the effect of the foliar application of various antitranspirants at different concentrations.
