Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at G. B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, U. S. Nagar (Uttarakhand) during the Rabi 2007-08 to find out the effect of planting geometry on Artemisia annua crop. The experiment consisted eight treatments of different planting geometry viz., (30x30 cm, 30x45 cm, 30x60 cm, 45x60 cm, 45x75cm, 45x90 cm, 60x75 cm and 60x90 cm) were laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Result revealed that maximum leaf yield (2.46 t/ha) was recorded at 45x60 cm which was significantly higher than all other treatments. However, because of significant difference in variation of dried leaf yield of crop, artemisnin yield varied significantly over the treatments. Plant geometry that 45x60 cm spacing was optimum for getting higher leaf yield (2.46 t/ha) and Artemisinin yield (5.16 kg/ha) in Tarai region of Uttarakhand.
