ABSTRACT
The present study entitled, “Effect of Different Varieties and Levels of Nitrogen on Post-Harvest Parameters of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)” was conducted during the winter season of 2009-10 on sandy clay loam soils of Students’ farm, College of Agriculture, Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad. The treatments consisted of three varieties (HP 4080, RAJ 4037 and HI 8682) and four nitrogen levels (0, 60, 120 and 180 kg N ha-1). The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with varieties as first factor and nitrogen levels as second factor with three replications. The findings of experiment are summarized below. Apparent recovery fraction, protein content was maximum with the variety RAJ 4037. Physiological efficiency was more with variety HP 4080. Agronomic efficiency was found to be on par with all the three varieties and all the nitrogen levels. Protein content was maximum with 180 kg N ha-1. Apparent recovery fraction was maximum with 60 kg N ha-1 physiological efficiency with 120 kg N ha-1. The nitrogen uptake in grain and straw was maximum with variety RAJ 4037. Among the nitrogen levels, 180 kg N ha-1 recorded significantly maximum uptake of nitrogen in grain and straw.
Key words: Post harvest parameters, Triticum aestivum.
