ABSTRACT

Field experiment conducted during kharif seasons of 2004 and 2005 at Kittur Rani Channamma
College of Horticulture, Arabhavi, Karnataka revealed that closer planting (60 cm x 20 cm) of
pashanbhedi recorded significantly higher gross (Rs 82,083/ha) and net returns (Rs. 56,822/ha),
and B: C ratio (3.25) than wider spacing levels (60 cm x 30 cm, 75 cm x 20 cm and 45 cm x 30
cm). Among the time of harvest, harvesting the crop at 180 and 160 DAP recorded significantly
higher B: C ratio (3.17 and 3.07, respectively), and gross (Rs.76,188 and 73,438/ha, respectively)
and net returns (Rs. 52,279 and 49,609/ha, respectively) than 140 DAP. The interaction effects
showed higher B: C ratio in the treatment combination 60 cm x 20 cm – harvesting at 180 DAP
(3.67) and 60 cm x 20 cm –harvesting at 160 DAP (3.62). Thus, the spacing of 60 cm x 20 cm
and harvesting pashanbhedi at 160 DAP can be recommended for higher returns under irrigated
condition.
