The experiment was laid out in split plot design with two tillage practices viz. zero tillage and conventional tillage as main plot factor and four level of N viz. 50 kg ha<sup>-1</sup>, 75 kg ha<sup>-1</sup>, 100 kg ha<sup>-1</sup>and 125 kg ha<sup>-1 </sup>as sub plot factor and each replicated thrice.  The result revealed that there is no significant relation between tillage practice and plant height of wheat while N level significantly affect the plant height. 125 kg N ha<sup>-1 </sup>recorded the highest plant height (110.7 cm). Zero tillage recorded the highest effective tiller m<sup>-2</sup> (254) and grain yield (3.3 t ha<sup>-1</sup>) whereas spike length, grain spike<sup>-1</sup>, biological yield and harvest index were not significant with tillage practices. Regarding the N level, 125 kg N ha<sup>-1</sup> recorded the highest effective spike m<sup>-2</sup> (279), spike length (10.6 cm), grain spike<sup>-1</sup> (48), thousand grain weight (46.3 g), grain yield (3.6 t ha<sup>-1</sup>) and biological yield (9.4 t ha<sup>-1</sup>). 50 kg N ha<sup>-1</sup> recorded the highest harvest index (42.9%). The interaction between the tillage practice and nitrogen level showed the significant effect on grain yield and harvest index where as other parameters showed non-significant relation. The zero tillage with 125 kg N ha<sup>-1</sup> recorded the highest grain yield (3.9 t ha<sup>-1</sup>).</p>}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Agriculture and Natural Resources}, author={Bartaula, Sampurna and Panthi, Urbasi and Adhikari, Anil and Mahato, Mohan and Joshi, Darbin and Aryal, Krishna}, year={2020}, month={Jan.}, pages={233–239} }
