Wheat (Triticum aestivum) plays a vital role in meeting the food requirement <strong>of</strong> both urban and<br />

rural population in India but its yield is low in rainfed areas because <strong>of</strong> unavailability <strong>of</strong> moisture<br />

at the time <strong>of</strong> sowing which adversely affect the emergence and plant establishment. It is the<br />

most important staple food crop <strong>of</strong> district Kathua having 41% share, cultivated in about 52.493<br />

thousand hectares with production and productivity <strong>of</strong> 11.47 lakh quintals and 24.0 q/ha,<br />

respectively. Wheat-maize is prominent cropping sequence in the district. The farmers <strong>of</strong> Kandi<br />

areas mostly rely on the cultivation <strong>of</strong> maize and wheat along with some pulses and oilseeds for<br />

their livelihood. However, weather is a critical factor influencing the production <strong>of</strong> crops in this<br />

region. Weather effects on crop yield are manifold, making their assessment challenging. Timely<br />

rainfall in district viewed as a dominant climatic element influencing timely sowing and<br />

ultimately the yield <strong>of</strong> wheat crop. The frequent dry spells during the sowing time greatly<br />

influence the crop productivity and become the limiting factor to achieve potential productivity.<br />

Hence, to overcome with untimely rainfalls at the time <strong>of</strong> sowing <strong>of</strong> wheat crop as experienced<br />

in last few years an experiment was formulated to study the effect <strong>of</strong> In-situ conservation <strong>of</strong><br />

kharif moisture for timely sowing <strong>of</strong> wheat in rabi season under rainfed conditions in the form <strong>of</strong><br />

on farm trials (OFTs) during rabi 2021-22.<br />
