Effect of Dates of Sowing, Row Spacings and Varieties on Yield Attributes and Yield of Rabi Indian Bean (Dolichos lablab L.)

A field experiment was conducted on loamy sand soils of at Agronomy Instructional Farm of C. P. C. A., S.D.A.U., Sardarkrushinagar to study the “Effect of dates of sowing, row spacings and varieties on yield attributes and yield of rabi Indian bean (Dolichos lablab L.)” during 2012–13. Plant height was recorded significantly higher in variety Gujarat Val 1 when sown on 15^th October at 30 cm row spacing. All the yield attributing characters such as number of pods per plant, number of grains per pod, length of pod, seed yield per plant and 100 – seeds weight noticed significantly higher when crop was sown on 15^th October at 60 cm row spacing using variety Gujarat Val 1. Seed yield and B:C ratio of Indian bean significantly affected with sowing dates, row spacings and varieties.
