In the Rabi seasons of 2019-20 and 2020-21, an experiment was carried out at the Agronomy Research Farm, Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.). Three different methods of sowing—M1: Conventional (sowing after residue cleaning), M2: Sowing with Happy Seeder, and M3: Sowing after residue incorporation—were assigned as the main plot of the experiment. Three irrigation schedules—I1: 03 Irrigation (CRI, LJ, and milking stage), I2: 04 Irrigation (CRI, Tillering, LJ, and milking stage), and I3: 05 Irrigation (CRI, Tillering, LJ, milking, and dough stage)—were maintained as subplots. Three replications of the experiment were conducted on silty loam in texture soil and medium in fertility status with pH values of 8.32 and 8.26, organic EC (0.28 and 0.30) dsm-1, and carbon (0.31 and 0.32%). According to the findings, the highest plant height of wheat was achieved while using a happy seeder, and it was noticeably more than when using a conventional method (sowing after residue has been cleaned). During several years of study, sowing with a happy seeder recorded results in a substantially larger dry matter accumulation than conventional sowing after residue cleaning, although it is comparable to sowing after residue incorporation.
