Description
Summary:This field experiment was conducted at Agronomy Research Farm, The University of Agriculture Peshawar during rabi season 2013-2014 to study the response of triticale to phosphorus (P), sulphur (S) and different irrigation (I) levels. The experiment was comparised on randomized complete block (RCB) design with split plot arrangement having three replications. A sub plot size of 5.4 m2 having six rows of 3 m in length was used. The result of this study revealed that more days to anthesis (125) were produced by irrigation applied two times (I^sub 2^ = seedling + tillering), more days to physiological maturity (167), and harvest index (32 %) were recorded by irrigation applied one time (I^sub 1^ = seedling) while higher plant height (114 cm) and leaf area (21 cm^sub 2^) were recorded by irrigation applied three times (I^sub 1^ = seedling + tillering + booting).
