Abstract
In trials in the kharif [summer monsoon] season of 1964 on red sandy loam soil, P. typhoides [= P. americanum] was sown at a spacing of 15 cm in rows 30, 45 or 60 cm apart and, in addition to a basal dressing of f.y.m. + PK, was given 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 or 100 kg N/ha. Increases in the N rates were accompanied by linear increases in height, number of tillers/plant, grain yield/plant from 6 to 13.3 g and grain yield/ha from 1.15 to 2.43 t. Applied N accelerated flowering. The 3 spacings gave mean yields of 2.03, 1.92 and 1.9 t/ha, respectively; yield differences were not significant. There was no interaction between N levels and spacings for the different characters studied, except for yield/plant which increased with increase in N level and spacing. Grain yield/plant was positively correlated with height and number of tillers/plant
