Abstract:
The investigation entitled “Performance of lentil genotypes under delayed planting condition in Vertisols of Chhattisgarh plains” was conducted out at Instructional cum Research Farm, IGKV, Raipur, (C. G.) during rabi 2020-21. The experiment was performed in the Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications. The treatments comprised of three planting time viz. D₁: 20^th November (timely), D₂: 30^th November (late) and D₃: 10^th December (very late) and five genotypes viz. V₁: JL-3, V₂: RKL58F3715, V₃: L-4076, V₄: CG Masoor 1 and V₅: DPL-62. Results revealed that genotype RKL58F3715 gave highest yield (1433 kg ha^-1) followed by CG Masoor 1 (1276 kg /ha). The economic returns from the genotypes RKL58F3715 and CG Masoor 1 (63075 Rs. /ha and 54359 Rs. /ha, respectively) were also higher than others. Among the interaction effect between planting time and genotypes, genotype RKL58F3715 sown up to 20^th November fetched significantly maximum grain yield (1765 kg /ha) and economic returns (81946 Rs. /ha) closely followed by CG Masoor 1 (1732 kg /ha & 80091 Rs. /ha, respectively) over other treatment combinations.
