Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during the winter season of 2017–18 at Khalsa College, Amritsar, to study the effect of the method of sowing and different mulch on yield and economics of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) levels in the northwest Punjab region. Wheat was sown on raised beds recorded about 10–12% higher grain yield over zero-till and flat sowing methods. Straw mulch at 4.5 t/ha resulted significant effect on grain yield in wheat. The net returns were more in bed planting and higher mulch levels compared with the other treatments. Straw mulch reduced the maximum soil temperature at seed depth (5 cm) by about 3.7oC compared to the no mulch. During the wheat emergence, raised beds recorded 2.4o C higher soil temperature at 7–8 cm soil depth compared to the flat and zero-till treatments.
