Abstract
The present investigation was carried out in randomized block design with 10 treatment, which were replicated thrice. The treatments were T1 (Goma priyanka + 30 January), T2 (Goma priyanka + 15 February), T3 (Goma priyanka + 1 march), T4 (Goma priyanka + 15 march), T5 (Goma priyanka + 30 march), T6 (Ra jamun + 30 January), T7 (Ra jamun + 15 February),T8 (Ra jamun + 1 march),T9 (Ra jamun + 15 march),T10 (Ra jamun + 30 march). The experiment was carried out with an objective to study the impact of different planting dates on establishment and growth of jamun under prayagraj agro-climatic condition. On the basis of our experimental finding it can be concluded that the best date of planting for jamun was 15th of march. The best variety for prayagraj agro climatic condition was found to be Goma Priyanaka. Ultimately on the basis of our overall finding it can be concluded that when Goma Priyanka was planted at 15th march gives the best result in terms of vegetative growth of the jamun plant.
