 ABSTRACT

The experiment was conducted in Kharif 2017 at Experimental Farm, Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani. The soil was clayey in texture, low in Nitrogen, low in Phosphorus, rich in Potash and slightly alkaline in reaction. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with 3 replication and 16 treatments combination viz., In main plot four dates of sowing and in sub plot four varieties of niger. The date of sowing (D1) MW 26 (25 June) recorded taller, higher mean plant height (cm), number of leaves plant-1, number of branches plant-1, Leaf area plant-1 (dm2), Total dry matter (gm), yield attributes, seed yield, straw yield, biological yield, harvest index than rest of  date of sowings; with respect to varieties (V1) PNS-6 recorded taller, higher mean plant height (cm), number of leaves plant-1, number of branches plant-1, Leaf area plant-1 (dm2), Total dry matter (gm), yield attributes, seed yield, straw yield, biological yield, harvest index, than rest of the varieties. The variety (V2) GN-1 was found at par with variety (V4) GNNIG-3 with respect to growth attributes as well as growth and yield attributes as well as yield.

Keywords: Dates of Sowing, Growth, Niger, Varieties, Yield.
