Abstract:Yields of dryland crops are governed by the moisture in the soil profile at seeding and by rainfall during the growing season. Occasionally limited amounts of water may also be available for irrigation. Field experiments were conducted over a period of 4 years on loamy sand and 3 years on sandy loam to study the effects of pre-seeding, post-seeding and split application of limited amounts of water on root growth, water use, dry matter accumulation and grain yield of wheat. This article reports the treatment effects on dry matter accumulation and grain yield.Early season water stress decreased the rate of dry matter accumulation. Grain yield responded significantly to irrigation 30 days after seeding irrespective of the amount of water, year and soil type. Yield with post-seeding irrigation averaged 3518 kg ha?1 against 2317 kg ha?1 for unirrigated control in loamy sand and 4440 kg ha?1 against 3391 kg ha?1 in sandy loam. The increase in yield was manifested by a significant increase in the number of effective tillers per m row length, number of grains per ear and thousand grain weight.
