ABSTRACT: A field experiment
was conducted at TamilNadu agricultural university, Coimbatore during rabi 2011 to study the
effect of time transplanting on growth, yield attributes and resultant seed
quality of davana. The experiment was laid out with five different dates of transplanting
viz., October 15th, November 1st, November 15th,
December 1st and December 15th with the spacing of 15 × 7.5
cm and 125:125:75 NPK kg/ha were adopted in a randomized block design with
four replications. The results revealed that the seedlings transplanted at 15th November recorded the maximum number of branches/plant, seed yield/plant, seed
yield/plot, resultant seed germination and vigour index.
