Abstract :
The study was carried out at National Agriculture ResearchCenter, Islamabad, to decipher the effect of seeding rateon weed suppression in wheat variety ‘Margalla 99’ sownat four different seeding rates (80, 100, 120 and 140 kgha-1) Weed density was lower in 120 kg ha-1 as comparedto 80 , 100 and 140 kg ha-1. Spike length (9.90 cm),spikelets/spike (2.20) and total grain yield (2.77 tons ha-1) were also highest in 120 kg ha-1 treatment. Datarevealed that weed density declined and yield componentsincreased with the increase in seed rate.
