Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during winter season of to study the performance of pigeonpea genotypes to planting geometry. The genotype and planting geometry significantly influenced the seed yield, stalk yield, harvest index, availability of nutrient in soil, nutrient % in seed and Stover. Among the six genotypes (Asha, Rajeevlochan, RPS- 2007-106, Laxmi, RPS-2008-4 and RPS-2007-10) tested, genotype Asha (1281 kg ha-1) recorded significantly highest seed yield over the other genotype. In the two planting geometry significantly maximum seed yield of 1235 kg ha-1 was realized with spacing of 45 cm x 10 cm and was higher yield than the yield recorded with spacing of 60 cm x 10 cm (1085 kg ha-1). In genotype Asha (227.722 kg ha-1) availability of nitrogen and nutrient (NPK) % of seed and Stover are significance. In narrow spacing significantly maximum availability of nitrogen and nutrient (NPK) % of seed and Stover was significance over the wild spacing.
