The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design for field research experiment and Completely Randomized Design for laboratory experiment with three replications and twelve varieties viz. Bhima Kiran, Bhima Super, Bhima Dark Red, Bhima Light Red, Bhima Safed, Bhima Raj, Bhima Shakti, Bhima Shweta, Bhima Shubhra, Bhima Red, N-2-4-1, Phule Samarth. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among the varieties in all characters. In respect of growth parameter Phule Samarth was recorded maximum number of leaves (12.8), maximum chlorophyll-a content (20.92) and chlorophyll-b (10.34). The variety Phule Samarth showed best results for all yield parameters.
