Abstract: A Field experiment was conducted at Instructional Agronomy Farm, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur (Rajasthan) during Rabi 2014-15 and 2015-16. The experiment was consisted 15 treatment combinations, comprising of three varieties (RD 2035, RD 2552 and RD 2786) and five precision nutrient management practices (PNMP1: RDF – half N, full P2O5 and K2O as basal + remaining half N as top dressing after first irrigation, PNMP2: RDF – half N, full P2O5 and K2O as basal + remaining half N as top dressing before first irrigation, PNMP3: 50 % of recommended N and full P2O5 and K2O as basal + Green Seeker based N top dressing after first irrigation, PNMP4: 70 % of recommended N and full P2O5 and K2O as basal + Green Seeker based N top dressing after first irrigation, PNMP5: Soil Test Crop Response). The experiment was conducted in factorial randomized block design and it was replicated three times. Pooled results showed that dry matter accumulation, CGR, RGR, effective tillers, grains ear-1, test weight and grain yield were recorded significantly higher in variety RD 2552 over RD 2035 and RD 2786. Similarly, STCR based nutrient management (PNMP5) gave significantly higher dry matter accumulation, CGR, RGR, effective tillers, grains ear-1, test weight and grain yield (50.64 q ha-1) which was at par with application of 70 per cent of recommended N and full P2O5 and K2O as basal + Green Seeker based N top dressing (PNMP4) while, significantly higher over rest of the nutrient management treatments.
