Abstract


In order to find out optimum dates of sowing of foxtail millet for Lower Brahmaptura Valley Zone of Assam, a field experiment was conducted during rubi, 1989-90 and 1990-91 at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Gossaigaon with eight dates of sowing (16th, 26th December 5th, 15th, 25th January, 4th, 14th and 24th February) in randomised block design with three replications. The grain and straw yield were highest on 15th January sowing and decreased beyond this date. The optimum sowing time was found to be mid-January
