Optimization of Sowing Time and Seed Rates Can Enhance Wheat Yield in Semi-arid Environment. Optimization of planting time and seed rate are of prime importance to determine crop yield with change in climate. Hence, a field experiment was conducted using two-factorial randomized complete block design (RCBD) with split-plot arrangement where sowing time was assigned to main plots and seed rates were assigned to subplots to evaluate the response of wheat to varying seed rates (90, 100, 110, 120, 130 and 140 kg ha-1) and planting time (sowing started from October 25 with a 10-d gap till December 15).
