Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during the rabi season of 2011-2012 at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore to study the response of Co (Rg) 7 pigeonpea at rabi season with different planting geometry. The results revealed that closer spacing of 45 x 30 cm with population of 74,074 plants ha-1 recorded maximum plant height and significantly higher grain yield of 1059 kg ha-1. However number of branches per plant, stem girth and yield attributes like number of pods per plant were higher in wider spacing of 90 x 45 cm with the population of 24,691 plants ha-1. This study indicates that Co (Rg) 7 pigeonpea has better response to closer spacing of 45 x 30 cm at rabi season and higher B:C ratio.
