abstract
The study investigated the growth attributes of green gram genotypes as influenced by different sowing windows conducted during Kharif 2023-24 at research farm of AICRP for Dryland Agriculture, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola. Nine treatment combinations including three sowing windows viz., D₁- 28 MW (10^th July), D₂- 29 MW (17^th July) and D₃- 30 MW (24^th July) and three genotypes viz., V₁- PKV Green gold, V₂- PKV AKM-4 and V₃- Utkarsha all replicated thrice in a Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD). Among the treatments, growth characters viz., plant height, number of branches, leaf area, leaf area index, dry matter, root biomass, and nodule count were significantly influenced due to different dates of sowing in green gram Maximum values of all these characters were recorded by sowing in 28 MW and it was found comparable with sowing in 29 MW. Out of three genotypes green gram genotype PKV Green gold recorded significantly higher plant height, Number of branches plant^-1, leaf area (dm²), leaf area index, dry matter weight plant^-1 (g), root biomass plant^-1 (g) and total number of nodules plant^-1 and it was found comparable with Utkarsha. And lowest observation recorded by genotype PKV AKM-4.
