Growth and yield of wheat at different sowing dates (10 November, 25 November, 10 December) with different plant densities (200, 300 and 400 plants m-2) were analysed in terms of solar radiation intercepted by the leaves during 1998/99 and 1999/2000 in Faisalabad, Pakistan. Leaf area index, radiation interception and biomass accumulation were measured throughout the growing seasons.
