Abstract: The experiment entitled, “Effect of Weather Parameters on Growth and Yield of Pearl Millet” was conducted in split plot design with three replications during kharif 2018, at Mulegaon Agricultural Farm, Zonal Agricultural Research Station, Solapur. The Sowing of crop during 30^th MW significantly absorbed more photosynthetically active radiation (APAR), Heat use efficiency (HUE), light use efficiency (LUE) during both the period of experimentation correspondingly in this MW it produced more grain, fodder and biological yields over the crop sown in 26^th MW. The crop sown early in 26^th MW absorbed significantly less photosynthetically active radiation and accumulated less growing degree day (GDD) resulted in production of the lowest light use efficiency and heat use efficiency (HUE).
