Summer moong is emerging as cash crop in Punjab where paddy-wheat rotation is followed on a large area. An experiment was conducted to find out the most suitable spacing for sowing of summer moong in order to get higher benefits by increasing grain yield. The trial was laid out in factorial RBD with 3 × 2 factors. In this trial, three row to row spacing and two plant to plant spacing were taken with three replications. Row to row spacing of 20 cm, 22.5 cm and 25 cm were taken along with spacing of 7.5cm and 10 cm. The grain yield obtained was 12.68q/ha and 13.05q/ha of the crop sown at 22.5cm × 7.5cm and 22.5cm × 10.0 cm spacing, respectively. Therefore, it was inferred that summer moong variety SML 1827 could be sown at a row to row spacing of 22.5 cm with plant to plant spacing of 7.5 to10.0 cm.
