Abstract

Performance of 8 pearlmillet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) cultivars, viz. ( 6 hybrids, (‘MH 2114’, ‘MH 2106’, ‘MH 2107’, ’MH 2155’, ‘MPMH 17’ and ‘KBH 108’) and 2 varieties, viz.( ‘MP 570’ and ‘Pusa 383’) was evaluated under 3 sowing dates (10-15 July, 25-30 July and 10-15 August) at the Pearlmillet Research Station, Jamnagar, Gujarat, India during kharif season of 2017, to find out the production potential of pearlmillet cultivars under staggered sowing in raifed area of Western India. The growth and yield attributes in 10-15 July sown crop recorded higher values than late sowings. The crop sown on 10-15 July gave significantly higher grain yield ( 3069 kg/ha) and stover (6696 kg/ha) yields, net returns (36591 Rs/ha), benefit: cost ratio (2.80) and economic efficiency (412 Rs/ha/day) than that sown on 25-30 July and 10-15 August sowing.
