      abstract = {The effect of seed rate and irrigation level on the  performance of wheat cv. Gourab was studied. The experiment  comprises of two factors namely (1) four seed rate viz.  100, 120, 140 and 160 kgha-1 and (2) four levels of  irrigation namely (i) no irrigation i.e. control, (ii) one  irrigation given at Crown root initiation (CRI) stage,  (iii) two irrigations given at CRI and Panicle initiation  stages and (iv) three irrigation given at CRI, panicle  initiation and grain filling stages. All of the yields  contributing characters were significantly affected by seed  rate except 1000-grain weight. The highest plant height  (82.36 cm), total tillers plant-1(8.99), effective tillers  plant-1(3.49) , spike length (8.05 cm), spikelets spike-1  (15.50), filled grain spike-1 (31.05), grain yield (2.82 t  ha-1), straw yield (3.73 t ha-1), biological yield (6.55 t  ha-1) and harvest index (42.43%) were recorded from the  seed rate of 140 kg ha-1. Most of the yields contributing  characters were significant due to effect of irrigation  level. The highest plant height (82.33 cm), spike length  (8.37 cm), filled grain spike-1 (31.90), effective tillers  plant-1 (3.31), grain yield (3.30 t ha-1), straw yield  (4.09 t ha-1), biological yield(7.39 t ha-1) and harvest  index (44.47%) were recorded when one irrigation given at  CRI stage . The interaction between seed rate and  irrigation level influenced significantly all the plant  characters except plant height, spikelets spike-1 and  1000-grains weight. The highest spike length (8.63 cm),  grain yield (3.70 t ha-1), biological yield (8.06 t ha-1)  and harvest index (45.91%) were found from the seed rate of  140 kg ha-1 combined with one irrigation applied at CRI  stage. So it may be stated that the seed rate of 140 kg  ha-1 with one irrigation given at CRI stage may be  practiced for better performance of wheat cv. Gourab.},
