Abstract:
The present experiment was laid out at Research Farm of Dr. KSG Akal College of Agriculture, Eternal University, Baru Sahib (H.P.) during summer season of 2021. The trial consisted of two factors (seed rates and planting methods) which prepared eight treatments combinations and positioned out in FRBD with three replications to attain the unvarying and unbiased result. The combinations of eight treatments comprising two different seed rates (S) (S₁-4 kg ha^-1, S₂-5.5 kg ha^-1) and four methods of planting (M) (M₁-broadcasting, M₂-Line sowing, M₃-Transplanting randomly, M₄-Transplanting in lines). The results reported that plant population in growth parameters were statistically affected by various seed rates and recorded maximum value with 5.5 kg^-1. It was ascertained that notably higher plant population, height of plant, length of root, root biomass, girth of root were reported under treatment M₃ (Transplanting randomly). Concerning interaction impact, the higher plant population height of plant, length of root, girth of root, was reported under the treatment M₃S₂ i.e. Transplanting randomly + 5.5 kg per hectare.
