A field experiment was conducted during winter season (pre-rabi sowing) of 1996 and 1997 at Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology, Regional Research Station, Chiplima, to study the response of greengram (Phaseolus radiatus L.) varieties to date of sowing. Variety Nayagarh Local gave the maximum seed yield (978 kglha), followed by Sujata (937 kg/ha) and PDM 54 (878 kg/ha). Sowing on 10 September was the best date with seed yield of 969 - kgtha. A delay of 10 and 20 days in sowing reduced the seed yield by 14.2 and - 30.0% respectively. Most yield components varied significantly due to varieties but not due to dates of sowing. Incidence of yellow mosaic virus, cercospora leaf-spot and powdery mildew was the minimum in PDM 54 and in the crop sown on 10 September.References
