Tarai region of U. P., reclaimed from degraded forests, is characterised by organic matter rich, sandy loam to clay loam soils with water table at 1-7 ft depth. Wheat is the most important winter grain crop of this region. The present paper reports the response of N. P. 718 variety of wheat in this region to methods of application of N at different levels. Two field experiments, one each during 1963-64 and 1964-65 were conducted at Pant Nagar where the soil contained 2.21% organic matter and 0.12% N with pH of 6.8. Winter rainfall of the two seasons of experimentation was 21.8 mm and 69.0 mm respectively. The treatments consisted of three methods of application of N as ammonium sulphate (M₁=broadcast just before sowing, M₂=drilled 6.3 cm below the seed and M_{3} = 5 - 7.5 cm on either side of the seed), three levels of N ( N_{1} = 33.6kg , N_{2} = 50 kg and Na 67.2 kg N/ha), and one unfertilised control.
