Abstract

The field experiment was conducted during the year 2016 and 2017 at village Jasaura district Kannauj, Uttar Pradesh. Grain yield was ranged from 43.85-70.32 q ha-1 and 40.50-73.92 q ha-1. Stover yield was ranged from 116.65-142.87 q ha-1 and 114.25-143.15 q ha-1. Biological yield was ranged from 178.00-230.57 q ha-1 and 171.82-233.57 q ha-1. The weight of 100 seeds was ranged from 20.88-28.40 gram and 20.75-29.78 gram. Shelling percentage was ranged from 71.15-80.22% and 70.20-80.44%.
