A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2002-03 and 2004-05. Among the methods of sowing, Furrow Irrigated Raised Bed System (FIRBS) 3 rows as well as 2 rows recorded significantly higher spikes per meter row length, spikelet spike-1, spike length, grains spike-1 and 1000-grain weight than conventional sowing. Grain yield was recorded significantly lower under conventional sowing as compared FIRBS (2 rows) and FIRBS (3 rows), which were at par among themselves. Compared to broadcast of N, placement of N resulted in significantly higher values of yield and yields attributes (except 1000-grain weight). Among the different times of N applications, grain and straw yield was significantly higher with N application as 1/3 before sowing + 1/3 after Ist irrigation + 1/3 at spike emergence as compared to other N application treatments.
