Agricultural Science Digest - A Research Journal

The field experiment conducted in the experimental farm of School of Agricultural Sciences and Rural Development (SASRD), Nagaland University during kharif season (June-September) of 2016 revealed that spacing at 30 x 10 cm recorded significantly the higher plant height (48.10 cm), number of leaves (5.47), shoot dry weight (2.88 g plant⁻¹), LAI (2.88) and yield attributes such as number of pods plant⁻¹ (17.00), length of pods (6.81 cm), seed yield (688.54 kg ha⁻¹) and stover yield (1917.81 kg ha⁻¹) respectively. Application of phosphorus at 40 kg ha⁻¹ recorded significantly the higher plant height (49.37 cm), number of leaves (5.73), shoot dry weight (3.34 g plant⁻¹), LAI (3.34), CGR (6.37 g m⁻² day⁻¹) and yield attributes such as number of pods plant⁻¹ (17.56), length of pods (6.91 cm), seed yield (737.42 kg ha⁻¹) and stover yield (1973.01 kg ha⁻¹) respectively.
