A field experiment was conducted at College of Agriculture, Badnapur on a clayey soil during kharif season of 2017 to find out the effect of with two factors viz., Varieties (three levels: V1- BDN-711, V2- BSMR-736, V3- BDN-716) and four irrigation levels Rainfed (Control) (I1), Bud initiation (I2), Pod development (I3), Bud initiation and Pod development (I4) with 12 treatments combinations. Each experimental unit was repeated three times. The fertilizer dose of 25:50:00NPKkg ha-1 was applied after sowing. Amongst varieties, BDN-716 recorded maximum seed yield (1697 kg ha-1) and net monitory returns (51457 kg ha-1) than BSMR-736, however, it was comparable with BDN-711 for seed yield. Amongst irrigation stages, two irrigations at bud initiation + pod development recorded significantly maximum seed yield (2076 kg ha-1) and NMR (93435 Rs ha-1) followed by irrigation at pod development, irrigation at bud initiation and rainfed treatment, respectively. Highest water use efficiency was observed under irrigation at pod development (29.18 kg ha-1 mm-1) followed by irrigation at bud initiation (24.23 kg ha-1 mm-1) and two irrigations at bud initiation + pod development (17.30 kg ha-1 mm-1).
