Experiment was conducted during the Kharif season 2023 at Research cum Instructional Farm S.G. College of Agriculture and Research Station Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh in Randomized Block Design using seven treatments which was replicated in three times. The results obtained under PSB seed treatment (T4) revealed significantly higher growth parameters viz., number of tillers, leaf area index, dry matter accumulation, crop growth rate, relative growth rate, net assimilation rate and yield attributing characters viz., number of panicles m-2, total number of grains panicle-1. Early flowering and maturity were recorded with treatment T4. The statistically highest grain and straw yield was recorded under treatment T4. In case of harvest index, treatment T4 was found higher. Maximum gross return, net return and B: C ratio was obtained by treatment T4.
