The study looked at how different planting times, methods, and irrigation schedules affect wheat yield in Punjab, India. Wheat planted on November 10 using bed planting and a specific irrigation schedule had the highest yield, dry matter, and radiation-use efficiency. Water-use efficiency was highest with a certain irrigation treatment. Bed planting resulted in higher grain yield, water-use efficiency, and radiation-use efficiency compared to flat planting. The number of effective tillers, grains per ear, ear length, and grain weight were positively correlated with grain yield.
