Abstract: The present field experiment was conducted at Research Farm, K N K College of Horticulture, Mandsaur. This investigation was carried out with twenty varieties includes seven local collected genotypes and thirteen released varieties. The research experiment was laid out in simple Randomized Block Design in three replications during the year 2018- 19. The analysis of variance revealed significant difference in all the growth parameters among the varieties. However, the maximum leaf area index (0.31, 0.53 and 0.35) and leaf area duration (4.59, 8.00 and 6.85 cm2 day-1) recorded in V10 PEB at all the growth stages at 30 days fixed intervals. The variety V5 AFg-2 was recorded maximum crop growth rate (0.59, 1.30 mg cm2 day-1) and relative growth rate (55.98 and 82.35 mg g-1 day-1) at 30-60 and 60-90 DAS respectively, but 90-at harvest in V17 Jaora Local-2 crop growth rate (1.29 mg cm2day-1) and V8 AFg-5 relative growth rate (79.50mg g-1day-1). The maximum leaf area (26.82, 156.66, 163.19, and 47.54 cm2 plant-1) in V10 PEB, fresh weight (2.30, 34.33, 100.30 and 72.62 g plant-1) in V5 AFg-2, SPAD value (57.29, 67.42, 78.56, and 52.94) in V10 PEB at all the growth stages at 30 days fixed intervals and seed yield (8.77g plant-1) in V5 AFg-2.The variety V9 HM-57 was took minimum days to 50% germination (4.33), 50% flowering (43.67) and days to maturity (119.00) as compared to other varieties.
