Abstract
A field experiment was conducted under rainfed condition during kharif seasons of 2013 and 2014 at Pearl millet Research Station, Junagadh Agricultural University, Jamnagar, Gujarat (India) to find out the optimum time of sowing and row spacing for production potential of cluster bean (var. Gujarat Guar 2). The experimental field was laid out in split plot design with four replications. There were six treatment combinations consisting of three dates of sowing (1 st July, 11 th July and 21 st July) and two spacing (3010 cm 2 and 4510 cm 2 ). Pooled over two years results revealed that all the characters studied were markedly affected by sowing dates and row spacing. Data of all traits under studied were gradually decreased with delaying sowing date from 1 st July to 21 st July. The highest seed yield (12.19 q ha -1 ) was obtained when the crop sown on 1 st July which was significantly superior to other dates of sowing. Closer row spacing gave statically higher seed yield than wider spacing. The interaction effects of dates of sowingrow spacing were found non-significant for all the traits studied. However, sowing of cluster bean on 1 st July in a spacing of 3010 cm 2 gave the highest seed yield (12.74 q ha -1 ) as compared to other treatments. This may be due to higher number of pods plant -1 , number of clusters plant -1 , number of pods cluster -1 , plant height and test weight.
