An experiment was conducted on experimental farm Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani, during kharif season 2017, entitled "Studies on relationship between crop growth, yield and physical environment within the crop canopy of Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) under different weather conditions". An experiment was conducted in randomize block design with six replications. Treatment under study were four sowing dates in kharif season i.e. D1 (23 rd MW), D2 (25 th MW), D3 (27 th MW) and D4 (29 th MW), and one variety AKT-64.The results found that all the biometric observations (plant height, No. of leaves, No. of branches and dry matter, days to 50% flowering and days to capsule formation, yield contributing characters such as total number of capsules plant -1 , seed yield (kg/ ha -1 ), straw yield (kg/ ha -1 ) and biological yield (kg/ ha -1 ),) were significantly highest yield in sown in D2 (25 th MW) followed by D1 (23 rd MW).Sowing at D2 (25 th MW) found superior over the rest of treatments with production of highest grain yield (440.8 kg /ha -1 ) followed by sowing in first sowing date D1 (23 rd MW) (386.3 kg/ ha -1 ), third sowing date D3 (27 th MW) (317.8 kg/ ha -1 ) and lowest grain yield was observed in fourth sowing D4 (29 th MW) (237.2 kg/ ha -1 ).
The experiment was conducted on experimental farm at Department of Agricultural Meteorology, College of Agriculture, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani, during Kharif season 2017 entitled "Influence of weather parameters on growth and yield of different genotypes of green gram (vigna radiata. L) under different sowing dates" to study the relationship between meteorological parameters and different sowing dates and its impact on yield of different genotypes green gram. The experiment was conducted in Spilt plot design with three replications. Treatments comprised of four sowing dates in main plot D1 24 th MW, D2 26 th MW, D3 28 th MW and D4 30 th MW with four varieties in sub plot viz. Vaibhav, BM-4, BM-2002-1 and BM-2003-2. The results obtained from the experiment revealed that all the biometric observations plant height, number of functional leaves, number of branches, dry matter, number of pods, pod length, number of seeds pod -1 in kharif green gram were significantly highest in D1 24 th MW (16 th June) followed by D2 26 th MW (30 th June), D3 28 th (14 th July) and D4 30 th MW (28 th July) respectively. The green gram variety BM-2003-2 was found to be highly productive as compared to Vaibhav, BM-4, and BM-2002-1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
