An experiment was conducted to find out optimum fertilizer and spacing requirements for, the seed crop of snakegourd cv.PKM.1. The three fertilizer treatments were: 6:12:6, 9:15:9 and 12:24:12 g of the NPK/pit and three spacings were: 2 x 2.5m, 3 x 1m and 4 x 0.6m. The results revealed that application of 12:24:12g. of NPK/pit and sowing at a spacing of 2 x 2.5m were optimum for getting higher seed yield (119.87g/pl.). The treatments also recorded high recovery of large size seeds (61.5%), high, 100-seed weight (32.095g), germination (98%), root length (18.6 cm), shoot length (39.6 cm) and vigour index (5692).
