Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season 2017- 18 at the Campus for Research and Advanced Studies Dhablan of G.S.S.D.GS. Khalsa college Patiala with twelve treatment combinations of three sowing time D₁ (2^nd fortnight of October), D₂ (1^st fortnight of November), D₃ (2^nd fortnight of November) in main plots and fertilization levels F₁ (25 kg ha^-1 P₂O₅), F₂ (45 kg ha^-1 P₂O₅), F₃ (25 kg ha^-1 P₂O₅ + Rhizobium inoculation₎ & F₄ (45 kg ha^-1 P₂O₅ + Rhizobium inoculation) in sub plots were tested in split plot design with three replications. Plant growth parameters like emergence count (m^-2), plant height (cm), number of branches plant^-1, number of leaves plant^-1, dry weight (g) plant^-1 and yield were recorded significantly superior with crop sown on D₂ (1^st fortnight of November) with F₄ (45 kg ha^-1 P₂O₅ + Rhizobium inoculation). D₂ (1^st fortnight of November) sown crop with F₄ (45 kg ha^-1 P₂O₅ + Rhizobium inoculation) produced significantly higher grain yield (q ha^-1) and straw yield (q ha^-1) as compared to others treatments.
