Abstract:
The present investigation was carried out at College of Horticulture, Dapoli, Dist. Ratnagiri during rabi 2020-2021. The experiment was laid out in Split Plot Design with three replications. There were 12 treatment combinations comprised of three different spacing viz., S₁ (90 cm x 15 cm), S₂ (90 cm x 30 cm), S₃ (90 cm x 45 cm) and four nitrogen levels viz., N₁ (45:60:30 NPK kg/ha), N₂ (60:60:30 NPK kg/ha), N₃ (75:60:30 NPK kg/ha), N₄ (90:60:30 NPK kg/ha). The obtained results showed that all the parameters were markedly affected by different spacing, nitrogen levels. Among various spacing and nitrogen levels significantly maximum pod yield per hectare (31.10 t/ha) were recorded in S₂N₃. Hence, evaluation of production revealed that growing of Yard long bean @15t FYM/ compost at 90 cm x 30 cm spacing with fertilizer application at the rate of 75:60:30 NPK kg/ha was most remunerative option to get higher yield and more return under Konkan agro climatic conditions.
