The experiment was laid out in split plot design with four replications, comprises two main plot treatments i.e., sowing dates M₁- Normal sowing: First fortnight of July, M₂- Delayed sowing: 20 days after normal sowing, three subplot treatments i.e., S₁- Machine transplanting, S₂- Manual transplanting in lines, S₃- Manual transplanting at random. The results revealed that normal (optimum) sowing i.e., first fort night of July with machine transplanting proved to be better for obtaining maximum grain yield and net returns.
