Small millets are important crops cultivated in input farming systems by resource poor farmers. Nutri cereals (Small millet crops) are neglected crops. As, sowing time has a major role in determining the yield of crops the present experiment was taken up to assess the impact of sowing windows on growth and yield of small millets. The site of experimentation was Regional Agricultural Research, station, Nandyal during kharif, 2019. The design used for experimentation is split-plot. The treatments consisted of 3 small millet crops littlemillet, foxtailmillet and proso millet with 6 sowings windows July 1st FN, July 2nd FN, August 1st FN, August 2nd FN, September 1st FN and September 2nd FN. Crop sown during July 2nd FN had the maximum, plant height (122 cm), thousand grains weight (4.97 g) and grain yield (2455 Kg ha-1) as compared with other sowing dates. The interaction effect between small millet crops and sowing windows showed that the economic yield (grain yield) of foxtail millet and prosomillet were found to be highest when sown during July 2nd FN (3530 kg/ha and 1876 kg/ha respectively). But for little millet the highest grain yield was observed when sown at July 1st FN(2024 kg/ha).
