A field experiment was conducted under sandy loam soil during the summer season of 2018 at College Farm, College of Agriculture, Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad. The experiment comprised of nine irrigation treatments namely, I1 {Irrigation at Tillering (T) + Panicle initiation (PI) + Flowering (F) + Grain filling (GF)}, I2 {Irrigation at Tillering (T) + Panicle initiation (PI) + Flowering (F)}, I3 {Irrigation at Tillering (T) + Panicle initiation (PI) + Grain filling (GF)}, I4 {Irrigation at Tillering (T) + Flowering (F) + Grain filling (GF)}, I5 {Irrigation at Panicle initiation (PI) + Flowering (F) + Grain filling (GF)}, I6 {Irrigation at Tillering (T) + Flowering (F)}, I7 {Irrigation at Tillering (T) + Grain filling (GF)} I8 {Irrigation at Panicle initiation (PI) + Grain filling (GF)} and I9 {Irrigation at Flowering (F) + Grain filling(GF)}, were replicated three times in a randomized block design. Results showed that I1 recorded significantly maximum values of growth parameters (plant height, leaf area index, SPAD readings, number of tillers m-2 and days to 50% flowering). From this investigation it can be concluded that, out of nine treatments, I1 was ideal for realizing growth parameters at harvest.
