Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during kharif season 2018-19 at Soil Conservation and Water Management farm of C. S. Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur. The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with 3 replications. Different fertilizer doses were given according to treatment i.e. F1 (30:15), F2 (60:30), F3 (90:45), crop was transplanted by hand in the field according to the treatment. Plant to plant spacing was maintained as 20 cm, and row to row spacing was set as 30, 40 and 50 cm accordingly. Among the following treatment with fertilizer dose given as 90 kg N + 45kg P2O5 ha-1 (F3) in combination with 40 cm row spacing (S2) recorded highest growth and was significantly superior over all other treatments.
