“…Its yield is greatly influenced by crop management factors. Among several crop management factors sowing method, seeding rate and selection of appropriate genotype have prime role in affecting wheat productivity (Chauhdary et al, 2016;Isidro-Sánchez et al, 2017). Appropriate sowing method not only aids in establishment of proper crop stand but also improves the conversion of light energy by balancing inter-plant competition thereby improving the crop yield (Ali et al, 2012;Ehsanullah et al, 2017;Rasool et al, 2017).…”

W heat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the major staple food cereal crop in most of the countries and cultivated in wide range of environments. Its yield is greatly influenced by crop management factors. Among several crop management factors sowing method, seeding rate and selection of appropriate genotype have prime role in affecting wheat productivity (Chauhdary et al., 2016;Isidro-Sánchez et al., 2017). Appropriate sowing method not only aids in establishment of proper crop stand but also improves the conversion of light energy by balancing inter-plant competition thereby improving the crop yield (Ali et al., 2012;Ehsanullah et al., 2017;Rasool et al., 2017). Hence such cultivation system and/or sowing method should be adopted which could improve the soil properties such as moisture, temperature and root penetration in order to improve the plant growth and productivity (Krause et al., 2009). Ridge sowing of wheat improves the crop yield and water saving by improving the plant tillering capacity, soil moisture content and nutrient availability (Hussain et al., 2018). However, ridge sowing often Abstract | Wheat productivity could be improved by ridge sowing with optimized seed rate for different varieties. This 3-years study was conducted to determine the optimum seed rate for different varieties of ridge sown wheat for better yield and related components. Wheat varieties (Faisalabad-08, Punjab-11 and Galaxy-13) were sown on ridges using two different seed rates (125 and 150 kg ha -1 ). Increase in seed rate improved the emergence (plants per m 2 ), number of productive tillers per m 2 and grain yield (3-7%) of all wheat varieties although productive tillers per plant, number of grains per spike and 1000-grain weight was decreased. Faislabad-08 performed better regarding grain yield and related components among all varieties. Seed rate and varieties did not interact significantly for studied traits. Correlation analysis revealed that grain yield was positively correlated with number of productive tillers per m 2 during all years and grain weight during first year; while, negatively correlated with number of grains per spike during second year indicating that increase in grain yield was associated mainly with increase in number of productive tillers per unit area in response to seed rate. In conclusion, increase in seed rate improved the grain yield of ridge sown wheat by enhancing the number of productive tillers per unit area and could be exploited to improve the wheat productivity.

“…ensues in poor stand establishment (Hussain et al, 2015) which could become the limiting factor. Hence, optimization of seed rate with appropriate variety is crucial for maintaining proper plant population to acquire better crop yield from ridge sown wheat (Chauhdary et al, 2016).…”

Crop and water productivity can be improved by sowing crops under drip irrigation coupled with fertigation and proper management scheme. The study was conducted, during spring seasons of 2015 and 2016, at Faisalabad, Pakistan to investigate the corn response under different irrigation frequencies including daily: daily irrigation, 3 rd day: cumulative irrigation at every third day and 5 th day: cumulative irrigation at every 5 th day. Also, three rates of recommended dose of fertigation (RDF) including 100% of RDF, 75% of RDF and 50% of RDF were investigated for both imported water soluble fertilizer (IM) and indigenously developed water soluble fertilizer (NB) to check their effect on corn production and its net profit. The experiment was laid under "Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD)". Crop growth was measured in terms of plant height, dry matter weight, grain yield, harvest index and water productivity. The results revealed that plant height, dry matter weight, grain yield, harvest index and water productivity were statistically highest under daily frequency followed by 5 th day and 3 rd day irrigation frequency, respectively. The results also showed that the highest plant height (192.8 cm), dry matter weight (18.17 t/ha), grain yield (9.47 t/ha) and water productivity (3.41 kg/m 3 ) were produced by NB 100. Treatment under daily irrigation with NB 100 produced highest grain yield (9.98 t/ha) and net profit (Rs. 210342/ha) among all other treatments. Therefore, it is recommended that corn sown under drip irrigation should be fertilized by NB 100 with daily irrigation frequency for economically better production in the semi-arid area of Faisalabad, Pakistan.

“…Several researchers found that wheat sown by drilling method gave the highest values for plant height, number of tillers m -2 , number of spikes m -2 , number of spikelets spike -1 , number of grains spike -1 , spike length, grain weight spike -1 , 1000-grain weight, straw yield, grain yield and protein percentage compared to the other sowing methods (Chauhdary et al, 2016;Khatri et al, 2019;Al-Zahy et al, 2020;Bakhsh et al, 2020;Singh et al, 2020;Hassanein et al, 2020;Tamirat & Mekides, 2020). Latif et al (2018) concluded that poor results were obtained in the method of broadcast single 1 as compared to the other methods.…”

Region (laying out in the part of the south valley of Egypt, about 1300 and 280km. south from Cairo and Aswan, respectively) during 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons to study the effect of preceding crop (PC 1 : fallow, PC 2 : soybean and PC 3 : sunflower), sowing methods (SM 1 : drilling and SM 2 : broadcasting) and nano-fertilizer (NF 1 : 0.0 Nano (control), NF 2 : 125, NF 3 : 250 and NF 4 : 500mL fed -1 ) on the growth, yield and its quality of bread wheat cv. Giza 171 in sandy-loam soil. The experiment was carried out in (RCBD) using strip-split plot design with three replications. Results showed that plant height, number of spike plant -1 , number of leaves plant -1 , flag leaf area, spike length, number of grains spike -1 , 1000-grain weight, grain yield, protein content, hectoliter weight, wet and dry gluten traits were significantly affected by preceding crops, sowing methods and nano-fertilizer in both seasons. Wheat preceded by soybean shows an increase in all studied wheat traits than those preceded by sunflower crop and fallow. The drilling method showed remarkably superior performance for all studied traits, except the plant height and hectoliter weight which was recorded the highest mean values with the broadcasting method. Increasing nano-fertilizer concentration from 125 to 500mL fed -1 resulted in an increased significance in all previous traits, except for hectoliter weight trait which was decreased by increasing nano-fertilizer concentration in both seasons. Also, all interactions involved in this respect had significant influences on the majority of the traits, and the highest mean value of grain yield was (3.480 and 3.553 ton fed -1 ) in the 1 st and 2 nd seasons, respectively which were resulted from planting wheat after soybean (PC 2 ) with drilling method (SM 1 ) and spraying with 500 ml fed -1 nano-fertilizer (NF 4 ) at three times.
