Abstract:
An experiment was carried out during the years 2019-21 at College of Horticulture, Venkataramannagudem, West Godavari Distract of Andhra Pradesh. Data were recorded on yield parameters like leaf yield per plant, leaf yield per plot and quality parameters carbohydrate content, chlorophyll content, phenol content and aroma score for fresh leaves. Among the treatment combinations, spacing of 60 cm x 75 cm + late Kharif planting (S4P2) was found to record maximum leaf yield per plant, leaf yield per plot, carbohydrate content, chlorophyll content and aroma score for fresh leaves. The closest spacing of 60 cm x 30 cm + late Kharif planting (S1P2) was found to be significantly superior in phenol content as compared to the rest of treatments.
