Abstract:
The field experiment was conducted to study of land configuration and plant spacing on Indian bean Dolichos lablab (Papadi) under south Gujarat condition. The experiment was laid out in split plot design, total twelve treatments of land configuration, intra row and row spacing with three replication. All the growth characters yield attributes, yield as well as nutrient uptake not affected by different land configuration and intra row spacing. While, 30 cm row spacing recorded significantly higher plant population, plant height as well as yield attributes and yield of Indian bean viz., seed index, seed yield, stover yield and harvest index. While, number of branches per plant, dry matter accumulation, days to 50 % percent flowering, number of pod per plant, number of seeds per pod and seed yield per plant were recorded higher with the treatment 60 cm row spacing. Crude protein content and nutrient content of crop not affected by different treatments. While seed and stover yield was significantly higher with 30 cm row spacing and remain at par with 45 cm row spacing. The percentage of seed yield increased with 30 cm row spacing was 24.28 and 59.52 as compare to 45 cm and 60 cm row spacing, respectively. The highest economic net returns of ` 100553/ha with benefit cost ratio of 3.40 were realized when Indian bean crop sown at 30 cm row spacing.
