A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2015 at Rice Research Station, Kaul (Kaithal) of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar to study the effect of different dates of transplanting on growth, yields and economics of non-scented rice varieties. The experiment conducted in split plot design comprised three dates of transplanting viz. June 15, July 05, and July 25 in main plots and four non scented rice varieties viz. HKR-48, HKR-47, HKR-127 and HKR-128 in sub plots with four replications. Early transplanted crop (June 15 and July 5) showed sign of good growth having taller plants, high crop dry matter accumulation, leaf area, leaf area index, crop growth rate and relative growth rate than delayed transplanted crop (July 25). Among the different varieties growth attributes were significantly higher in medium duration varieties HKR-128 followed by HKR-127 as compared to that in mid-early HKR-47 and early duration variety HKR-48. The medium duration variety HKR-128 recorded significantly higher yield (69.67 q/ha) than HKR-127 (66.04 q/ha), HKR-47 (63.82 q/ha) and HKR-48 (52.65 q/ha). The transplanting June 15 was found beneficial with maximum net return (Rs. 24020/ha) and B:C (1.27) followed by July 05 (Rs. 22305/ha and 1.25, respectively) and July 25 (Rs. -10403/ha and 0.88, respectively). The HKR-128 gave the highest net return (Rs. 22640/ha) and B:C (1.25) as compared to other varieties.
