Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Effect of different genotypess under varying dates of sowing on growth and yield of wheat” was carried out during rabi season of 2011-2012 at the Research Farm of Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur in split plot design with three replication. Results of the trial indicated that among various important growth characters for different wheat varieties, plant height was greatly influenced in different dates of sowing. Maximum plant height was observed in variety Sujata and Amar under D₃ (16 December). Dry matter accumulation of plant was maximum in first date of sowing and there after the rate of biomass accumulation declined and minimum was recorded under D₅ (05 January) sowing. Maximum grain yield was observed in D₁ as compare to delayed sowings (D_2, D_3, and D4). Under the D₁ the grain yield was observed maximum in Sujata and minimum in Kanchan.
