| dc.description.abstract | A field experiment was conducted during rainy seasons of 2007-08 and 2008-09 at the Vegetable Research Centre in G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar (Udham Singh Nagar), Uttarakhand. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design consisting total 12 treatment combinations of two factors viz., 4 nitrogen levels viz. N1 (50 kg/ha), N2 (75 kg/ha), N3 (100 kg/ha), N4 (125 kg/ha) and 3 spacings viz. S1 (60 cm × 25 cm), S2 (60 cm × 50 cm), S3 (60 cm × 75 cm). It has been observed that treatment closer spacing 60 × 25 cm (S1) showed the significant response with respect to plant height and number of leaves, seed germination, seed viability, root and shoot length whereas characters like number of branches, stem diameter, days to flower opening, days to flower bud initiation, days to fruit setting, days to mature pod at harvest, number of pods per plant at harvest, number of seeds per pod, test weight showed significantly response with treatment of wider spacing 60 × 75 cm (S3). On the other hand nitrogen dose of 125 kg/ha (N4) have also shown the significant response with respect to growth parameters viz. plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, number of branches, days to flower buds initiation, days to fruit setting, days to mature pod at harvest, number of pods per plant at final harvest, number of seed per pod, test weight, seed yield per plot and seed yield (q/ha), seed germination, seed viability, root and shoot length were also found significant. It has also been observed that highest seed yield per plot and seed yield (q/ha) was maximum at closer spacing, 60 × 25 cm (S1) alongwith the nitrogen dose @ 125 kg/ha (N4). | en_US |
