Abstract


Field experiments were conducted during rabi season of 1995 to 1998 at Regional Research Station, Aurppukottai, to find out the optimum time of sowing and plant population for short duration redgram in rainfed vertisols. September first fortnight sowing recorded highest mean grain yield (812 kg ha-1), gross income (Rs. 12985 ha-1) and benefit cost ratio (3.48). Plant population level @ 4.0 lakhs ha (25 x 10 cm) had registered higher grain yield (390 kg ha') and gross income (Rs. 6224/-).
