Abstract: An experiment entitled “Effect of Different Sowing Environment on Growth and Yield of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Varieties” was conducted at research farm, FOA, Main Campus Chatha of SKUAST-Jammu during kharif season of 2016-17. The soil of experiment site was sandy clay loam in texture with slightly alkaline in reaction (pH-7.9), medium in organic carbon, low in available nitrogen and medium in available phosphorus and potassium. The treatments consisted of three different sowing dates (4^th November, 19^th November and 4^th December 2016) and three wheat varieties, HD-2967, RSP-561 and RAJ-3077 were taken. The experiments were laid in a randomized complete block design with three replications and spacing of 20 cm. The crop was fertilized with 100 kg N, 50 kg P and 25 kg/ha through urea, diammonium phosphate (DAP) and muriate of potash (MOP) respectively. The data showed significant effects of different sowing time. The highest grain yield was obtained from 4^th November planting date 34.4 q ha^-1 which was at par with 19^th November planting date 31.8 q ha^-1. Whereas, among the different varieties, HD-2967 recorded highest grain yield 32.8 q ha^-1 which was at par with Raj-3077.
