Abstract
The experiment was conducted at JAES, Manikganj, JRRS, Rangpur and JRSS, Jessore during 2015-16
to determine the optimum plant spacing of BJRI Deshi Pat-8 (BJC-2197) for seed production at late season.
The experiment was laid out in RCBD design with three replications. Different plant spacing viz., 30cm×10cm,
30cm×12.5cm, 30cm×15cm, 35cm×10cm, 35cm×12.5cm, 35cm×15cm, 40cm×10cm, 40cm×12.5cm,
40cm×15cm, 45cm×10cm, 45cm×12.5cm and 45cm×15cm were used as treatment. The crop was harvested at
proper maturity of the pods of plant as per BJRI recommendation. Results revealed that all the yield and quality
contributing characters were differed significantly except branch plant-1, 1000 seeds weight and Moisture
percentage due to different plant spacing. The highest seed yields and germination 1398.33kgha-1 and 92.33%
at Manikganj, 1164.73kgha-1 and 92.67% at Rangpur and; 1197.00kgha-1 and 91.33% at Jessore, respectively
were obtained from the spacing treatment 35cm×12.5cm.
