Abstract

The performance of Vijay, Digvijay, Phule G-9758, and Phule G-07101 was better under different sowing dates. Seed yield, hundred seed weight, number of pods per plant declined due to delayed sowing. The physiological maturity was also affected with delayed sowing. The genotype Phule G-00110 was found to be betterforfurther breeding programme.
