A trial was undertaken in 1992 with six green gram varieties in four dates of sowing to identify the best performing varieties and the most suitable time for sowing with respect to effective flower production in the summer season. The best varieties in terms of flower production and grain yield were AAU-39 and ML-131. Flower drop and poor pod setting were the most serious problem limiting crop yield. Total number of flower produced, percentage flower retention and total number of pods harvested were positively correlated with grain yield. The best period for sowing summer green gram was identified as the period between last week of February and first fortnight of March.
