Influence of seed size on the growth, productivity, and water use efficiency of bread wheat planted by different methods

In this two-year field study, influence of seed size on the growth and performance of wheat sown under different sowing methods was evaluated. The experiment comprised of three seed size classes viz. bold size, medium size and small size and five sowing methods, (1) broadcast, (2) line sowing, (3) no-till sowing, (4) bed planting, and (5) broadcast augmented with furrows.
