Abstract: Field experiment was conducted to study the effect of tillage management modules, seed rate and varieties on wheat with variety NW-1014 and HUW-234, at Agronomy Research Farm of Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology Narendra Nagar, Faizabad (U.P.) during Rabi season of 2013-14 and 2014-15. The farm is located 42 km away from Faizabad city on Faizabad- Raebareily road at 26.47Ëš N latitude and 82.12Ëš E longitude and about 113 metres above the mean sea level. The treatment included various tillage management modules, seed rate and varieties viz. M₁: (Conventional tillage), M₂= reduced tillage and M₃= zero tillage main plot, b. Seed rate kg ha^-1 ( sub-plot) viz.S₁= 100 kg ha^-1, S₂=125, S₃=150 and c. Wheat varieties ( sub-plot) V₁=NW-1014 and V₂ =HUW-234.The treatment were replicated thrice in Split Plot Design. The experimental soil was silty loam in texture having P^H 8.14, OC% 0.32, EC 0.30 dSm¹, available N:160.40,P: 12.68, K: 218.40 kg ha^1.The crop was sown om 30^th December and 6^th January and harvested on 3^rd and 8^th May of 2013-14 and 2014-15.HUW-234 wheat cultivar recorded significantly higher yield over NW-1014, Conventional tillage has been found most suitable for wheat production. The optimum dose of seed rate has been found as 150 kg ha¹ for wheat production. Wheat cultivar HUW-234 accrued the maximum net return with B:C ratio of 1.40 and 1.44 under conventional tillage with 150 Kg ha1 seed ha1 during the year 2013-14 and 2014-15 respectively.
