The treatments consisted of three levels of nitrogen (50, 75 and 100 kg N/ha) and three levels of potassium (50,75 and 100kg K2O/ha) at two times of application. Four varieties (Cross-5, H-2743, H-4021 and H-4126) were studied in the experiment. The experiment was laid out in a split plot cum confounded design with two replications
