Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during winter season (rabi) of 1994-95 to 1996 -97 at Khandha, Gujarat to study
the effect of irrigation schedule on yield and quality ufwheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori & Paol.) under restricted
water supply. The treatments conprised 8 levels of irrigation schedule. Results indicated that 4 irrigtations at pre-sowing,
crown root initiation, tillering and flowcring under restricted watcr supply gave consistently higher grain yield of wheat
during all the years and also in pooled. The water-use efficiency was also higher with this treatment. The quality of wheat
grain (lysine and tryptophan) does not affect due to reduction in number of irrigation under constraint of irrigation water
than normal recommended irrigation.
