Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2014-2015 to study the effect of different sowing dates on hybrid maize varieties under Allahabad condition. The experiment was laid out in Randomize Block Design consisting of 9 treatments replicated thrice i.e. three sowing dates (12th December, 22nd December and 1st January) and were allocated randomly in each replication. The results shows that crops sown on 1st January with treatment T9 shows maximum plant height (202.08 cm), number of cobs per plant (2.56), number of leaves per plant (16.22), number of seeds per cob (305.56), seed yield (4.63 t ha-1), straw yield (7.92 t ha -1), test weight (218 gm) and harvest index (37.41%) than crop sown on 12th and 22nd December. An economic analysis was also done viz. cost of cultivation of crop per hectare and cost benefit ratio showing crop sown on 1st January with treatment T9 having maximum cost benefit ratio (1:1.73).
