The experiment was laid out fallowing Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications during Kharif 2018, The place of experiment in Chitrakoot is situated at 25010' North latitude and 80085' East longitude. The altitude is about 200m above mean sea level The experiment was sown on 29^th, July, 2018 and harvested on 18^th, February, 2019. Each treatment was grown in 4 m long 6 rows per plot spaced 90 cm apart. The plant to plant distance was maintained 25cm by thinning. Recommended agronomic cultural practices and plant protection measures were adopted to raise a best crop. Observation were recorded Days to 50% flowering, Number of primary branches per plant, Number of secondary branches per plant:, Number of pods per plant, Plant height(Cm), Days to Maturity (DM),100-Seed weight (g) and Seed yield (kg/ha). On the basis of above per se varieties- ICPL 87119, LRG 134 and BDN 2013-1 and BRGL 18-1 are found suitable and best performer in terms of yield and yield contributing characters in agro- climatic condition of Chitrakoot.
