Abstract:
The present investigation was conducted in Randomized Block Design with 03 replications in 09 treatments (2.5m x 1.0 m, 2.5 m x 2.5 m, 1.5 m x 1.0 m, 1.0 m x 1.0 m , 2.5 m x 2.0 m, 1.3 m x 1.0 m, 3.0 m x 2.5 m, 3.0 m x 3.0 m, 1.2 m x 1.2 m) and result concluded that the growth and yield parameter was found significantly superior in treatment T₆ (1.3 m x 1.0 m) for most of the characters i.e. stem girth (5.70 cm), number of branches/plant (16.27), number of leaflets/rachis (62.32), length of rachilla/plant (16.57 cm), leaflet length (24.10 cm), petiole length (12.54 cm), leaflet-petiole ratio (2.03), canopy spread (171.00 cm), fresh leaf weight (327.80 gm), dry leaf weight (73.55 gm), fresh leaf yield (2521.54 Kg/ha), dry leaf yield (565.74 kg/ha), dry matter percentage (22.43) and B: C ratio fresh leaves (3.04) and dry leaves (7.29).
