An experiment was conducted on experimental farm at Department of Agril. Meteorology, College of Agriculture, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani, during Kharif season 2017 entitled “Influence of weather parameters on growth and yield of different genotypes of green gram (Vigna radiata. L) under different sowing dates” to study the phenology, accumulation of growing degree days (GDD), helio thermal units (HTU), heat use efficiency (HUE), helio-thermal use efficiency (HTUE) and performance of four sowing dates in main plot including D1 (24th MW), D2 (26th MW), D3 (28th MW) and D4 (30th MW) with four varieties in sub plot viz. Vaibhav, BM-4, BM-2002-1 and BM-2003-2 in split-plot design for our study purpose and as per package of practices. It was observed that GDDs increased significantly by to oC days, in early sowing. | Thermal utilization and heat use efficiency of green gram varieties under different sowing dates
