Abstract
The experiment was carried out at Crop Research Centre of University Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Chandigarh University, Gharuan (Mohali) during Rabi season, 2020-21 to study the effect of different planting methods on yield and economics of wheat in Punjab. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with seven treatments i.e. mould board plough, zero tillage, dibbler, happy seeder, rotavator, seed drill and control. Results revealed that yield attributes, grain and straw yield of wheat were increased with the use of mould board plough. The yield attributes and yield of the crop were highest with the use of mould board plough. Mould board plough significantly increased the grain yield of wheat over control by 67.5 per cent. Mould board plough had maximum net returns per rupee invested (1.37) over control (0.43).
