Growth and Productivity of Beet Root (Beta vulgaris L.) with Monetary Returns as Affected by Different Spacings
Subscribe/Renew Journal
To find out optimum spacing on growth and productivity of beet ischolar_main and to standardize package of practices for beet ischolar_main cultivation in Vidarbha region with monetary return a field experiment was undertaken during the winter seasons of three consecutive years. The experiment was conducted in a Randomized Block Design at the farm of Agricultural Research Station (Dr. PDKV), Yavatmal. On the basis of spacing, plants were transplanted at two row spacing viz., 30 cm and 45 cm and in row three plant to plant spacing viz., 10 cm, 20 cm and 30 cm with one separate 45 cm x 45 cm wider spacing plot with three replications. The result indicated that closer plant spacing had significantly increased plant height however, wider plant spacings significantly increased plant spread, number of leaves and weight of beet ischolar_main. Further the closer plant spacing found significantly higher marketable quality beet ischolar_main yield with highest net monetary returns.
