A field experiment was conducted during the Rabi season of 2019-20 at the Agronomy Research Farm of Tilak Dhari Post Graduate College, Jaunpur (UP) to find out the effect of dates of sowing and different varieties on growth and yield of wheat. Wheat has a prominent position among cereals. It is high source of protein, good source of fibre and good in manganese and magnesium in unrefined state. Its area and productivity is increasing rapidly across the globe, due to its wider adaptability and sustainability under diverse agro climatic conditions. There are various factors, which are responsible for low yield of wheat crop in the country but among these sowing time and varietal selection are of primary importance. Wheat is the main crop of winter season and it has its own definite requirements for temperature and light for emergence, growth and flowering. Selection of suitable crop varieties according to the agro climatic conditions may play crucial role in realizing the optimum production of any crop commodity. Delay in showing results in poor tillering and crop growth is generally slow due to low temperature. In late planting the wheat variety should be of short duration that may escape from high temperature at the grain filling stage. Late sowing results in reduction of yield contributing characters like number of tillers and number of grains per spike. The release of new varieties is a continuous process and different varieties perform differently under different sowing conditions. Therefore, the present study was conducted to judge the performance of various wheat varieties under late and very late sowing conditions in fields. Achieving novel improvements in crop management may require changing inter row distance in cultivated fields. Such changes would benefit from a better understanding of plant responses to the spatial heterogeneity in their environment. Our work investigates the architectural plasticity of wheat plants in response to increasing row spacing and evaluates the hypothesis of a foraging behavior in response to neighboring plants.
