Abstract: The experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2018-19 at Students’ Instructional Farm, Chandra Shekhar University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur to assess the effect of weather parameters on date of sowing and varieties on growth and yield of wheat. The field experiment included two factors, viz. dates of sowing in main-plot (15th November, 30th November, 15th December) and varieties in sub-plot (HD 2967, K 1006, K 402) was accommodated in split plot design replicated three times. On the basis of experimental study it was concluded that among sowing dates, 15th November sowing is the most economical than rest of the sowing dates The sowing on 15th November recorded better growth, yield attributes and grain yield (4482.11 kg ha-1) and harvest index (38.09%) of wheat crop. Among wheat varieties tested HD 2967 exhibited maximum grain yield (4831.56 kg ha-1) and harvest index (38.26%) compared to other varieties. On economic parameters 15th November sowing recorded maximum Net income (Rs.72188.39 ha-1) and B: C ratio (2:73). Among varieties K-402 evaluated maximum net income (Rs.82368.13 ha-1) and B: C ratio (3:04) compared to other varieties.
