ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted at Gwalior (M.P.), during rabi season 2011-12 to assess the response of wheat varieties to sowing dates. Significantly higher grain yield (60.82 q ha-1) was obtained from wheat variety HI 8498 sown on 18th November over other varieties on same date of sowing. The early sowing (11th November) gave 6.37% less grain yield compared to normal date (18th November). The delayed sowing reduced the grain yield by 13.35% than normal date of sowing. Early sown (11th November) crop produced higher protein content (12.17%) compared to normal and delayed sown crop. Similarly, Wheat variety HI 8498 had significantly higher protein content (12.75%) in grain over others. Crop sown on 18th November gave higher gross income (` 103399 ha-1), net income (` 86485 ha-1) and benefit : cost ratio (5.12) over early and late sown condition. Variety HI 8498 gave higher gross income (` 102354 ha-1), net income (` 85440 ha-1) and benefit : cost ratio (5.05) over rest of the varieties.
