Abstract

The field experiment was conducted during Kharif 2020 at Research Farm, Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Sangaria, Hanumangarh (Rajasthan). The treatment consists of three different row spacing of (30 cm, 45 cm and 60 cm) and three different varieties HG 2-20, HG 365 and RGC 1002, whose effect was observed on Cluster bean. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design in which consist of nine treatments which are replicated thrice. The result showed that seeds of variety HG 365 sown with 45 cm row line up significantly increased the growth parameters of cluster bean viz, plant height (119.13 cm), Dry weight (36.11 g/plant), number of branches (10.00), number of leaves (299.73). Also in yield, Variety HG 365 sown in 45 cm row line up showed significantly excessive pods per plant (53.73), total seed weight (1075.67 kg/ha), stalk yield (2581.60 kg/ha), Gross profit (69703`/ha), Net profit (50398`/ha), Benefit cost ratio (3.61) followed by variety HG 2-20 with 60 cm row spacing. The higher h

Conclusion

The variety HG 365 along with 45 cm row line up achieved higher plant height, figure of branches per plant, leaves per plant, anhydrous basis, pods for each plant, seed mass per hectare & stalk yield per hectare followed by variety HG 2-20 sown with 60 cm row line up. But, variety RGC 1002 found superior in both harvest index and test weight. There is no significant difference in test weight due to row arrangements. Among the results we concluded that, variety HG 365 gave significant production with 45 cm row space arranging and variety HG 2-20 shows notably result under 60 cm row line up sowing.
