Abstract:
A field experiment was carried out at Field experimentation center of the Department of Agriculture, Ideal College of Arts and Sciences (Vidyut Nagar), Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh (A.P.) during Kharif - 2023. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with nine treatments including control which were replicated thrice. The treatments are as follows, Date of sowing – 12 – 07 – 2023, 04 – 08 – 2023 and 18 – 08 – 2023 and Plant geometry (line sowing, Dibbling and Broadcasting). It is concluded that treatment combination of 04 – 08 - 2023 with broadcasting reported higher growth parameters like plant height (67.5 cm) and dry weight (31.28 gm) and Number of nodules per plant (64.6) was reported in 12 – 07 - 2023 with broadcasting method. Number of branches per plant (8.4), number of pods per plant (21.0) and number of seeds per pod (11.00) reported higher with the combination of 12 – 07 - 2023 with dibbling method. Hence it is proved that date of sowing 12 – 07 - 2023 with dibbling method was recommended higher yield attributes.
