The maximum no. of siliqua (206.6 siliqua/plant), length of per siliqua (4.72 cm), no. of seeds per siliqua (11.51 seeds/ siliqua), 1000 seed weight) (5.84 gm), seed yield per plot (3.14 kg) are obtained in T1 (open pollination for all visitors). The minimum no. of siliqua (196.9 siliqua/plant), length of per siliqua (3.63 cm), no. of seeds per siliqua (8.77 seeds/ siliqua), 1000 seed weight) (4.04 gm), seed yield per plot (1.60 kg) are obtained in T2 (Total closed with mosquito net without any insect).
