The experiment was undertaken at the Experimental Farm of Department of Plantation, Spice, Medicinal and Aromatic Crops, College of Horticulture, RVSKVV, Mandsaur (M.P.) during 2019–20 in factorial RBD design, replicated thrice with two sowing methods and five seed rates as treatments. All the parameters were recorded at fixed interval of 30 days from 30 days after sowing to harvest. The result confirm that, the tallest plant height registered with broadcast (12.96, 68.00, 116.84 & 117.47 cm), 10 kg seed (13.34, 67.96, 118.30 & 118.93 cm) and in interaction broadcast x 10 kg seed (13.45, 68.60, 118.85 & 119.10 cm) but number of leaves in line sowing (12.41, 21.45, 24.77 & 62.02), seed rate (13.23, 22.23, 26.11 & 27.57) at 30, 60, 90 DAS and at harvest, respectively. The higher number of racemes (169.48, 192.16 & 204.92 plant−1), number of racemes (6.80, 7.35 & 7.65 branch1), racemes length (23.93, 24.57 & 25.54 cm), single racemes weight (0.73, 0.80 & 0.82 g), weight of 1000 seed (1.85, 1.87 & 1.88 g), seed yield (23.46, 23.98 & 24.32 q ha−1) and biological yield (54.26, 68.97 & 74.96 q ha−1) were found in line sowing, 8 kg seed and line sowing with 8 kg seed, respectively.
