Abstract

Forty five days old stecklings were transplanted on five dates of transplanting viz., 1st October, 15th October, 1st November, 15th November and 30th November with four plant spacings viz., 60 x 60 cm, 60 x 45 cm, 60 x 30 cm and 60 x 15 cm were tested in seed crop of radish var. Pusa Chetki during rabi season of 2000–2001. The result indicated that maximum seed yield 17.49 q/ha was harvested from steckling planted on 1st October. Among plant spacing, the closest spacing of 60 x 15 cm produced highest seed yield (17.96 q/ha). The interaction of time of planting x spacing was significant for number of pods per plant, seed yield per plant and per hectare, which indicated that 1st October planting with close spacing 60 x 15 cm produced highest seed yield (25.59 q/ha).
