A field experiment was conducted during Kharif season of 2020 at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, BARI, Burirhat, Rangpur to find out the variety-specific sowing time of foxtail millets. Treatments were two varieties of foxtail millets i.e., BARI Kaon-2 and BARI Kaon-3 and four dates of sowing i.e., Sowing on 25th February, 7th March, 15th March, 30th March and 15th April. The results revealed that the variety BARI Kaon-3 recorded significantly higher stature of growth, yield attributes and yield. The above parameters were at their lower level with the variety BARI Kaon-3. The crop sown on 7th March performed significantly higher stature of plant growth parameters; yield attributes and yields, while they were found to be at their lower level when sown on 15th April. The results concluded that sowing of foxtail millet variety BARI Kaon-3 up to 7th March was profitable to the farmers in the sandy loam soils of Rangpur.Download
