Field experiments were conducted during the rabi seasons of 2014-15 and 2015-16 at Research Farm of the Department of Agricultural Meteorology, Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar (29°10'N, 75°46'E and altitude of 215.2 m a.m.s.l.). The experiment was laid out in split plot design with four replications. Treatment combination comprised of three dates of sowing viz., D1 (1st fortnight of Oct.), D2 (2nd fortnight of Oct.) and D3 (1st fortnight of Nov.) with five varieties viz., Laxmi (V1), RH 0749 (V2), Kranti (V3), RH 406 (V4) and RH 30 (V5). Results revealed that the GDD (Growing degree days), DM (Dry matter) and HUE (Heat use efficiency) were higher with D1 sown crop during both the years. Among the varieties, highest HUE was recorded with RH 0749 at seed development phase during both the crop season.
