Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during two consecutive years 2019-20 and 2020-21to find out the suitable planting dates and genotypes to better growth and yield. The experiment was carried at experimental farm of the Department of Horticulture, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow. The experiment was laid out in Split plot design with four different planting dates (i.e.15^th June, 15^th July, 15^th August and 15^th September). The plant which were planted on 15^th June showed better performance on growth parameters viz., plant height (99.2cm and 95.3cm), stem diameter (1.3cm) in both years, intermodal distances (5.35cm and 4.9cm), number of leaves per branch (23.6 and 17.4), leaf length (6.0cm and 5.7cm), leaf breadth (4.3cm and 4.1cm) and canopy of plants east-west (45.8cm and 44.3cm), north-south (40.5cm and 39.3cm). However, maximum yield q/ha (47.66q/ha and 46.22q/ha) were obtained in 15^th July of planting The data statically revealed that planting dates and genotypes had significant effect on vegetative growth and yield during both the years.
