A field experiment was conducted during kharif season 2016 at farmer’s fields in district Hamirpur. The experiment included 8 treatment combinations was conducted in random block design with three replications. The experiment was carried out during June to September in Bhoranj, Nadaun and Taunidevi blocks with different dates of sowing viz. Gwardu (L1) 30>sup>th May, Dhamrol (L2) 30>sup>st May, Mann trebest location. Higher crop growth rate (42.5 g/m2/day) and plant height (202.3 cm) were recorded in Nadaun block at Mann treti (Location L3) with 500-800 mm rainfall. The Farmers practice (FP2) showed significantly higher plant height (216.7 cm), leaf area index (1.91), crop growth rate (46.5 g/m2/day) and relative growth rate (0.0069 g/g/day). Farmer’s practice proved to be better than zero budget natural farming at all the three locations. Key words:Keywords
