Abstract: The experiment was conducted at Research Farm of Department of Agronomy, CCSHAU, Hisar during rabi season of the year 2017-18 and 2018-19 to study the effect of tall and dwarf wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) for dual purpose under different seed and fertilizer levels on CGR, protein and crude protein content. The field experiment was conducted in split plot design with two varieties i.e. C 306 and WH 1105 with cut management taken as main plot and different seed with various fertilizer levels as sub plot. Among various cultivars treated with different cut condition, significantly higher protein (12.03 and 11.85%) and crude protein (11.85 and 11.22%) content were obtained in WH 1105 cultivar under without cut condition over C 306 cultivar without cut during 2017-18 and 2018-19, respectively. Significantly higher crop growth rate 2.03 and 8.81; 1.99 and 8.42 g/m2/day for the period between 0-30 and 31-60 DAS, respectively was observed in C 306 cultivar over WH 1105 during subsequent years. Whereas for the period between 61-90, 91-120 DAS and 121-at harvest significantly higher crop growth rate (12.16, 28.51 and 13.72; 11.09, 26.41 and 13.23 g/m2/day, respectively) was observed in WH 1105 over C 306 during 2017-18 and 2018-19, respectively. In case of seed rate and fertilizer combination treatments, significantly higher protein (11.53 and 11.24%) and crude protein (11.28 and 10.76%) content and crop growth rate (1.95, 8.68, 8.82, 20.57 and 10.10; 1.91, 8.30, 7.98, 19.05 and 9.80 g/m2/day for the period between 0-30, 31-60, 61-90, 91-120 DAS and 121 DAS-at harvest, respectively) was observed in wheat sown at 125 kg/ha seed rate with 130% RDF during 2017-18 and 2018-19, respectively.
