Effect of Aqueous Fertilizer on Soil Moisture Content, Depth of Seeding and Seedling Emergence for Wheat
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
The soil moisture and the depth of seeding are the important factors, which determine the germination of seed in rain fed areas. A study was undertaken to determine the time of emergence of wheat seed. Pot experiment was conducted in the college of agricultural engineering, JNKVV, Jabalpur. The wheat seed GW-273 were used with four levels of moisture content, i.e. 100%, 85%, 65% and 50% of field capacity (15.7%, 13.53%, 10.41% and 8.1% (DB)) and four levels of seeding depth were considered i.e. 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 cm. The laboratory results show that there was significant interaction observed with seed-depth, depth-moisture and moisture-seed. The time of emergence was prolonged for the 8.1% moisture content of 5-12 days. Hence, moisture availability and depth of seeding will influence the time of emergence.
