Abstract: An experiment was conducted during Rabi seasons of 2015-16 and 2016-17 to study the effect of five dates of sowing (20^th October,5^th November, 20^th November, 5^th and 20^th December) on growth, yield attributes and yield of four wheat varieties (VL-829,VL-907,VL-892 and HS-490) on a silty clay loam soil at Palampur (HP), India. Wheat sown on 20^th November recorded significantly highest plant height, tillers/m², Dry matter accumulation, grains/spike, grain and straw yield. Among varieties, VL-907 recorded significantly highest grains/spike, grain and straw yield and hence recorded significantly highest grain yield.
