Abstract
Pearl millet is an important cereal crop of rainfed area of India. The cultivar
of the pearl millet crop has been found to be highly remunerative under kharif
season and hence gaining popularity among the cereal - growing farmers of
Gujarat state. Crops require certain cardinal levels of various factor of
environment like air temperature, intensity and duration of radiation, humidity of
air and soil moisture etc. for optimum physiological functioning. Since, the effects
of weather on grain yield and fodder yield are complex. It will need the deeper and
clear understanding of the climatic factors affecting the growth and yield of pearl
millet. The field experiment during kharif season of year 2004 was laid out in a
split plot design with four replications. The three dates of sowings were assigned
as main plot treatment, four spacings as sub plot treatments.
