Effect of different fertility levels and row spacing on growth and yield on various varieties of clusterbean under northern Madhya Pradesh

An research experiment was conducted dnring kharif season of 2010 and 2011 at college of Agriculture, Farm Gwalior (M.P.) under AICRP on Arid Legumes. On the basis of two years pooled data the variety H.G.-I00 gave significantly higher yield (2476 kg/ha), net return (Rs. 43100/ha) and B.C. ratio (5.?3) as compared to other varieties. As regards fertility levels, the application of 100% RDF recorded significantly higher yield (2314 kh/ha), net return (Rs. 39186/ha) and B.C. ratio (4.70) as compared to 50% RDF. Similarly, 45 cm row to row spacing gave significantly higher yield (2497 kg/ha), net return (Rs. 43653/ha) and B.C. ratio (5.28) as compared to 30 cm row to row spacing.
