Effect of Different Weather Relationship in Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in Different Sowing Dates and Varieties in Prayagraj Conditions

Abstract

A field experiment entited “Effect of different sowing dates and varieties on growth and yield of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Under Prayagraj conditions” was conducted during the Rabi season of 2021-2022. The experiment was set at forestry field of Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Science Prayagraj U.P.  The experiment was laid out Factorial RBD with three replications having two factors. First factor comprised of three dates of sowing 15oct. 30 Oct. and 15 Nov. whereas second factor consist of three Barley varieties viz; Parth, SHB832, and RD 2052 Crop sown on 15th November recorded higher seed yield as compared to 30th October and 15th October sowing. In cases plant growth parameters of Barley maximum was recorded under 15th November as compared to 30th October and 15th October and in case of varieties maximum growth, plant height, no of tillers per plant, dry weight of per plant, length of spike, grain spike per plant, test weight, grain yield, straw yield, was recorded with 15th nov RD 2052 variety as compared to 15th Oct. Parth and 30th Oct. SHB 832. 15th November sowing with RD 2052 variety proved the most remunerative and economically feasible for cultivation of Barley under the agro climatic conditions of Prayagraj UP.
