Abstract
A field experiment was conducted for five successive years on pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum) with different sowing dates to evaluate the impact of thermal energy on growth and development of the crop. The accumulated heat units and number of days for various growth stages (seedling emergence, first tiller, panicle initiation, ear emergence, flowering initiation, 50% flowering and physiological maturity) decreased under delayed seeding. The variation in accumulated heat units and number of days required for various growth stages did not indicate any definite trend. The early crop received maximum thermal energy compared to later seeded crop in all the years of experimentation.Downloads
