A field experiment was conducted in Kharif season of 2014 at, J.N.K.V.V. College of Agriculture, Instructional Farm, Rewa (M.P.) under All India Coordinated Rice Improvement Project to study the “effect of sowing dates on performance of different rice varieties under upland condition”. Objective of this experiment was to find out the effect of sowing dates on physiological parameters and productivity of different rice varieties, suitable rice varieties under upland condition. The experiment was laid out in split-plot design with four replications. The treatments comprised of three sowing dates (3rd July, 8th July and 13th July) in main plots and 5 varieties (Danteshwari, Vandana, IR-64, PS-3 and PS-5) in sub plots. The varieties were sown by direct-seeding on 3rd, 8th and 13th July. The crops were grown under recommended package of practices. Among the varieties, PS-3 and then PS-5 resulted in maximum physiological parameters and grain yield up to 40.90 to 43.27 q/ha. The most optimum date of sowing of rainfed rice was 3rd July which gave maximum physiological parameters, grain yield upto 38.54 q/ha and economic return. Thus, variety PS-3 or PS-5 grown on 3rd July was suitable to obtain maximum productivity from rice under rainfed conditions of this region.
