2000-2001. The objectives of the experiments were to evaluate the effect of improved practices versus
local practices on the seed yield of wheat . Yield components i.e; plant height, spike length and grains
spike-1 were affected significantly except tillers plant-1 and 1000 seed weight with approved practices.
Also grain yield of wheat obtained with improved practices was significantly great than the yield obtained
from the local practices both the year respectively. This increase of wheat over the local practices was
reported 22 and 33 % both the years which may have been the results of collective impact of improved
practices. Thus, the use of improved wheat variety "Inqilab-91" with proper management practices i.e., two
ploughing for land preparation before sowing of crop using a seed rate of 110 kg ha-1, fertilizer rate (60-40-0 N-P kg ha-1) and seed treatment with vitavax-200 @ 2.0 g kg-1 seed can be recommended to obtain
maximum wheat yield under Rod-Kohi condition.]]>Alvi, A.S. and M. Sharif, 199515512Azhar, M.,196911516Hanif, M., M.J. Akbar, C.J. de Mooy and B.M.
