Abstract
Field experiment on morpho-physiological evaluation of wheat variety AKAW-4627 grown under different irrigation schedules was conducted during Rabi 2012-13 and 2013-14 at Wheat Research Unit, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola. An experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design with four replications and net plot size of 7.2 m2. Different irrigation schedules on the basis of climatological approach i.e., on IW/CPE ratio; was utilized for irrigating the crop. Favourable soil moisture was maintained in the irrigation scheduling treatments of 1.2 IW/CPE and 1.0 IW/CPE throughout the growing period and it was always maintained in allowable depletion regime. The result indicated that the different irrigation schedules affected morpho-physiological attributes. It is concluded that 1.2 IW/CPE was found superior over rest of the treatments for morpho-physiological attributes followed by 1.0 IW/CPE, control, 0.8 IW/CPE, 0.6 IW/CPE and no irrigation treatments. In respect of plant height 1.0 IW/CPE and control treatments were at par with each other.
