View article: Multi-Year On-Farm Trial Data on the Performance of Long- and Short-Duration Wheat Varieties against Sowing Dates in the Eastern Indo-Gangetic Plain of India
Multi-Year On-Farm Trial Data on the Performance of Long- and Short-Duration Wheat Varieties against Sowing Dates in the Eastern Indo-Gangetic Plain of India Open
Sub-optimal wheat productivity in the eastern Indo-Gangetic plain of India can largely be attributed to delayed sowing and the use of short duration varieties. The second week of November is the ideal time for sowing wheat in eastern India…
