<strong>for</strong> tropical envir<strong>on</strong>ments. Highestaverage yields in some experimentswere <strong>on</strong>ly about 2.5 t/ha. Planting dateand fertilizer-level experiments withwheat after lowland rice was c<strong>on</strong>ductedby <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> IRRI Multiple CroppingDepartment in Cagayan and at <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> IRRIFarm at Los Baflos. Am<strong>on</strong>g fourvarieties (UPLWI. C220-5. C169-6 andINIA66) used in different planting-dateexperiments in Cagayan. C 169-6showed <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> highest average yield (2.0t/ha). Five planting-date trials werec<strong>on</strong>ducted at IRRI. using five varieties.UPLWI. INIA66. C220-5. ANZA andC169-6. There <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> highest average yieldwas from C220-5 (2.5 t/ha) followed byC169-6 (2.4 tlha). In <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> fertilizerexperiment at Cagayan. 2.58 t/ha wasobtained with a nitrogen applicati<strong>on</strong> of120 kglha <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> variety UPLW 1(Trigo 1).Better varieties and managementtechniques are needed <strong>for</strong> wheat tocompete with o<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r crops that can begrown after rice.
