Two varieties viz., CO3 and ICCV 2, three times of sowing viz., 26.10.2005, 2.11.2005 and 17.11.2005 and three management factors viz., farmer's practice, recommended fertilizers and recommended fertilizers and need based plant protection measures constituting eighteen treatments were replicated thrice. The results revealed that sowing on 2nd November was beneficial in terms of growth and grain yield. Desi Co 3 gave better yield than Kabuli ICCV 2.
