Abstract :
The research was performed,at Agronomic Research Area,Faculty of Agriculture,Gomal University Dera Ismail Khan, to assess the impact of sowing time and seeding density on grain yield of wheat variety Gomal-08. Treatments included three datesof sowing as D1 (Oct-25), D2 (Nov-20), D3 (Dec-15) and three seeding rates (kg ha-1) of S1-100, S2-120, S3-150. Almost all yield parameters showed significant variability among treatments means. Maximum grain spike-1(g), number offertile tillers m-2, spike length (cm), economic yield (t ha-1) and thousand grain weight (g) were recorded in D1(Oct-25) and D2(Nov-20) with S1and S2as compared to late planted wheat with higher seed rate applied.
