 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 higher yield attributes, seed yield, straw yield, biological yield, harvest index, gross monetary return, net monetary return and B:C ratio than rest of  date of sowings; with respect to varieties (V1) PNS-6 recorded higher yield attributes, seed yield, straw yield, biological yield, harvest index, gross monetary return, net monetary return and B:C ratio than rest of the varieties. The variety (V2) GN-1 was found at par with variety (V4) GNNIG-3 with respect to yield attributes as well as yield.

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