An investigation was carried out during kharif 2017 at Department of Agricultural Meteorology, College of Agriculture, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani, entitled “Crop Weather Relationship in Different Cultivars of Black Gram. (Vigna mungo)” The experiment was laid out in a FRBD where main plots were assigned to four sowing dates and sub-plots to three Cultivars of black gram, with twelve treatment combinations and replicated thrice. The treatment comprised the four date of sowing i.e. 24th MW, 25th MW, 26th MW and 27th MW and three cultivars, V1 (BDU-1), V2 (TAU-1) and V3 (AKU-15). In the present investigation the biometric observations viz. plant height, number of leaves per plant, Number of branches per plant, Number of pods per plant was recorded from the different Cultivars and date of sowing. Treatment D1 (24th MW) and cultivar V3 (AKU-15) was found significantly superior over all other treatments and Cultivars respectively. The grain yield and biomass yield were recorded highest in D1 (24th MW) and Cultivar V3 (AKU-15). The treatment D2 (25th MW) and Cultivar V1 (BDU-1) was found second in the order of merit. The highest total GDD was observed with D4 (MW 27) sowing date and Cultivar V2 (TAU-1) similarly the highest HTU was observed with D1 (MW 24) sowing date and Cultivar V2 (TAU-1). PTU observed during total crop growth period was highest in D1 (MW 24) as compare to remaining treatments. In case of Cultivars PTU was highest in V2 (TAU-1). The highest GDD, HTU and PTU was observed in V2 (TAU-1) as compare to other three Cultivars. In case of date of sowing the highest GDD in D4 (MW 27) and HTU, PTU was highest in D1 (MW 24).
