Impact of Non Monetary Inputs in Cultivation of Late Sown Wheat : Sowing Methods, Varieties and Time of Nitrogen Application

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) a major cereal crop has been cultivated in India. The way India increased its wheat production and helped the food security system through "Wheat Revolution" is worth to be remembered.

To workout suitable method of sowing, variety and time of nitrogen application under late sown crop which could perform well in an important food crop of the area. This book has covered the information on different aspects of Wheat cultivation. This book will of immense value to the students, teachers and research workers.
