Abstract


Field experiment was carried out on the effects of different plant density models on growth and yield of pointed gourd. Three spacings (90cm.120cm, 150cm) and 4 densities (5.10.15.20) of female plants from a male plant were tested during the period of study. A local variety of pointed gourd "Bhubaneswar Local" was taken for study. Among different distances tried 150cm was proved to be the most effective than that of 90 cm and 120 cm. As regards to female plant density.15 plants around one male was found to be best. Increasing the female plant population beyond 15 around one male was found to be best Increasing the temale plant population beyond 15 around one male resulted in siguticat reduction in the yield per hectate in this crop.
