Abstract
A field experiment was conducted at Main Agricultural Research Station, Dharwad, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad to determine the effect of irrigation schedules, mulch and antiranspirant on growth, yield and economics of wheat. Irrigations scheduled at five critical growth stages viz., crown root initiation (CRI) + tillering + late jointing + flowering + milk stage resulted in significantly higher grain yield (2545 kg ha-1) over one, two and three irrigations but was on par with four irrigations scheduled at CRI + tillering + late jointing + milk stage. Increase in yield was due to higher number of effective tillers per metre row length, number of grains per ear and 1000 grain weight. Plant height, total dry matter production per metre row length were higher in frequently irrigated treatments. Grain yield was highest (2215 kg ha-1) in treatment receiving kaolin spray over control but was on par with straw mulch. Growth and yield attributing characters differed significantly due to the application of straw mulch and antitranspirant.
