Abstract:

The field investigation entitled entitled Performance of Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper) Varieties to different sowing dates will be conducted during kharif season 2012-13 at experimental farm, AICRP on Water Management, MKV, Parbhani. The experiment conducted with four sowing dates in main plot viz. D1 : Onset of monsoon (20th June) , D2 : 10 days after onset of monsoon (30th June) , D3 : 20 days after onset of monsoon (10th July), D4 : 30 days after onset of monsoon (20th July) and three varieties in sub plot viz. V1 -TAU-1, V2 -BDU-1, V3 -TPU-4. Gross and net plot size viz.4.5 m x 4.4 m and 3.9 m x 4.0 m respectively. The soil was medium black, clayey in texture, alkaline in reaction and higher in total soluble salt concentration, low in nitrogen and rich in phosphorus, potassium and lime, alkaline in reaction with high base saturation. Sowing was done by dibbling method. From the result of experiment it can be concluded that, among different sowing dates in black gram, the sowing at 20 days after onset of monsoon (10th July) was found optimum for achieving higher seed yield whenever the onset of monsoon delayed. The black gram variety BDU-1 was found highly productive as compared to TAU-1 and TPU-4.
