Abstract
A field experiment conducted during rabi season 2015-16 at Agronomy Research Farm of Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar aims to evaluate the effect of different nitrogen levels on late sowing wheat. The experiment consisted of 4 nitrogen level treatments 120,135,150,165 kg N ha-1. The obtained results indicated that plant height, dry matter accumulation, leaf area index (LAI), crop growth rate (CGR), number of tillers, all the yield attributes, grain yield and biological yield were significantly increased except 1000 - grain weight with increase the nitrogen dose up to 150 kg N ha-1, which was at par with 165 kg N ha-1.
