An adaptive research trail was conducted during rabi season of 2010-11 and 2011-12 for the evaluation of wheat cultivars and nitrogen scheduling under surface seeding condition in low land soil. The treatment comprised of four cultivars (PBW 343, HD 2733, HD 2824 & K 307) and two nitrogen scheduling N₁ - ½ dose at 11 DAS and ½ at CRI; and N₂ - 2/3 equal splits basal and two top dressing at the time of tillering and panicle initiation respectively. Maximum plant height, leaf area index, spike length and number of grains per spike were recorded by treatment V₂ N₁ (HD 2733 + 80% N at basal and rest 20% top dressed at tillering stage). However, maximum number of plant m^-2 was recorded by V₄ N₂ (K 307 + 50% N at basal and rest 50% two equal split application at tillering and panicle initiation stage). Highest number of effective tillers m^-2, test weight, grain yield, straw yield and harvest index was also recorded in V₂ N₁. Data further showed that V₂ N₂ (HD 2733 + 50% N at basal and rest 50% two equal split application at tillering and panicle initiation stage) was found to be at par with V₂ N₁.
