A field experiment was conducted at Research Farm of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar to study the response of irrigation, nitrogen and phosphorus levels on economics and water productivity of timely sown bed planted wheat. The experiment consisted of sixteen treatment combinations of four levels of irrigation (Two, three, four and five irrigations in main plots) and four fertilizer levels (80, 90, 100 and 110 percent of recommended N and P i.e., 150 kg N and 60 kg P2O5/ha) in sub-plots, laid out in split-plot design with three replications. The results showed that among the irrigation levels highest grain yield (5022 kg/ha), straw yield (8578 kg/ha), harvest index (36.9%) and B:C ratio (2.43) was recorded under five irrigated plots, whereas, among the fertilizer levels maximum grain yield (4765 kg/ha), straw yield (8134 kg/ha), harvest index (36.9%) and B:C ratio (2.40) was recorded under application of 110% N and P
