The field experiment was conducted at Agronomy Research Farm of Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology Kumarganj, Faizabad (U.P.) during Rabi season of 2013-14 and 2014-15. Field experiment was conducted to study the effect of tillage management modules, seed rate and varieties on wheat with variety NW-1014 and HUW-234 during Rabi season of 2013-14 and 2014-15. The treatment was replicated thrice in Split Plot Design. The experimental soil was silty loam in texture having pH 8.14, OC% 0.32, EC 0.30 dSm1, available N: 160.40, P: 12.68, K: 218.40 kg ha1. The crop was sown on 30th December and 6th January and harvested on 3rd and 8th May of 2014-15 and 2015-16. Plant height increased by 6.21% and 3.17% in conventional tillage as compared to reduced tillage at harvest. The dry matter production was found in HUW-234 which was 8.80% and 8.36% higher as compared to the NW-1014 during the year 2013-14 and 2014-15. Highest grain yield was recorded with variety HUW-234 (27.08 and 27.38 q ha-1) as compared to NW-1014 (23.84 and 24.48 q ha-1), maximum straw yield was recorded with HUW-234 variety (31.06 and 33.01 q ha-1) which was significantly superior over NW-1014 (30.00 and 31.12 q ha-1) variety and the maximum biological yield was recorded with HUW-234 which was significantly higher over NW-1014 variety in respective years. The tillage practices altered the grain yield. The maximum value of harvest index in conventional tillage and minimum in zero tillage during the year 2013-14 and 2014-15 respectively.
