Abstract: The present experiment wascarried out during kharif season of 2010 under Vertisols soil at the Instructional cum Research Farm (Bharri), IGKV, Raipur (C.G). The experiment was laid out as factorial randomized block design with three replications. The results revealed that various growth parameters and yield attributing characters were recorded highest with the application of 100% RDF + FYM 5 t ha-1 + DAP 2% foliar spray twice at flowering and at 15 days interval + PSB + NAA 40 ppm foliar spray at 30 and 40 DAS (F7­). Between the two genotypes, (V1) RM-03-71 was found to produce higher seed and stover yield. The interaction effect between genotypes and nutrient management revealed that combination of V1 (RM-03-71) X treatment F7 registered significantly higher seed yield as comparable to other combination.
