Abstract: A field experiment was conducted in Rabi season during 2013-14 on the entitled “Effect of sowing date and varieties on growth, yield and yield attributes of wheat in Central plan Zone of U.P.†in sandy loam soil at Students Instructional Farm of C.S. Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur-208002 (U.P.). The experiment consisted of sixteen treatment combinations comprised of four sowing date on November, 30, December, 10, December, 20 and December, 30 and four variety viz., PBW-343 find out yielded the other varieties K-307, Mahi, HUW-234 for the reason that No. of grain/ear, grain wt/ear and test weight was more in this variety as compared to other three varieties. Results reveal that significant influence with higher grain yield (44.58q/ha) under sowing on 30 November. It was significantly superior over sowing on 10 December (41.08 q/ha), 20 December (35.42 q/ha) followed by sowing on 30 December (32.33 q/ha). The varieties PWB-343 was superior to K-307, Mahi and HUW-234, respectively, from yield point of view and its attributes Regarding selection of varieties under four dates tested in the study was also very clear that sequence of varieties in order of preference was PWB-343, K-307, Mahi HUW-234. The study also confirmed that consequent delay in sowing significantly decreases the yield irrespective of varieties. Thus it is recommended that wheat crop may be sown in month of November to obtain the higher yield.
