ABSTRACT

The field experiment was carried out at KrishiVigyan Kendra, Aurangabad and at farmers’ field during rabi seasons of 2013-14 and 2014-15, to response of time of sowing affect the yield attributes, Yield and Economics of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Experiment was laid out in a completely randomized block design with 4date of sowing i.e5th November, 15th November   25th November, 5thDecemberin a total of five replications duringrabi 2013-14 and 2014-15. Significantly  maximum grain yield (44.64 q/ha) recorded  with wheat sown at 5th November being at par with 15th November  both were significantly more over 25th November and 5th December. 6.13%, 3.70% more grain yield  recorded with at 5th November and 15th November produces over sowing of wheat at 25th November and 33.65% and30.59% more grain yield over 5th December, respectively. Sowing of wheat at 5th November produced more straw yield (52.90q/ha) being at par with 15th November and they were significantly more over  25th November and 5th December. Straw yield recorded 8.49%, 7.51% more with at 5th November and 15th November produces more straw yield over 25th November and 15.96% and14.91% more straw yield over 5th December Sowing of wheat. Significantly highest B-C ratio was also recorded with 5thNovember and statically at par with 15th November over 25th November and 5th December. Highest return 6.13 and 3.71% & by 33.65% & 30.60%, respectively higher returns by were recorded when wheat sown at 5th November and 15th November over 25th November and 5th December respectively.
