Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect October 25 sowing produced the highest growing degree days, helio thermal units, heat use efficiency, photo thermal units and photo thermal index relative to December 10 sowing.
- Intervention effect October 25 sowing increased grain yield by 47.4 and 35.8% across the two seasons relative to December 10 sowing.
- Intervention effect Penman Monteith modified scheduling increased grain yield by 33.7 and 13.5% over rainfed conditions.
- Recommendation The authors recommend sowing around late October and weather based irrigation scheduling to improve wheat productivity and climate resilience.
