Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is an economically important crop. However, its annual
productivity is very low due to poor management practices like: inappropriate seeding rate and
utilization of different fertilizer types. Therefore, paper to review the response of bread wheat (
Triticum
aestivum
L.) to seeding rate on yield. Based on this review, application of different seeding rates has
significant effects on yield and yield components of bread wheat. The results of this review showed
that high-yield is obtained when wheat is sown from the seeding rate when increased from 75 to 200
kgha
-1. As the seeding rate increased from 75 to 200 kgha-1 number of productive tillers, total numbers
of tillers, total biomass yield and straw yield were increased. From this review, it is possible to
conclude that increased seeding rate performed better and gave higher grain yield and highest grain
yield advantage over the lower seeding rates.
