An experiment was conducted during Rabi seasons of 2013-14 and 2015 at RVSKVV, Special Agriculture Research Station, Farm, Bhind (M.P.) with 3 sowing dates and 3 fertility levels treatments. The experiment laid out in Split Plot Design with 3 replications on the basis of two year pooled data result revealed that sowing on 25thNovember with 120:60:40kg/ha NPK, application gave significantly higher grain yield (4.22 t/ ha) and net return (Rs. 53850/ha). Result also prove that the optimum date sowing (25 November) revealed maximum yield attributes, plant height (84.50cm), ear length (8.91cm), grains/ear (47.32) and test weight (39.79g) which were significantly higher than all other showing dates.
