Optimization of Spacing and Fertilizer Levels on Growth, Yield Parameters and Yield of Chia (Salvia hispanica L.)

A field experiment was conducted during Kharif season-2019 at Agricultural Research Station, Chintamani, Karnataka. The consisted of four levels spacing (45 × 15, 45 30, 60 and 30 cm) three fertilizer (40:20:20, 60:40:40 80:60:60 kg NPK ha-1) to determine the influence different on growth yield chia (Salvia hispanica L). arranged in a statistical design Factorial Randomized Complete Block Design (FRCBD) with replications. report study indicated that among spacings, cm recorded significantly higher number leaves plant-1 (108), primary secondary branches (22.38 27.69, respectively), Dry matter accumulation (146.09 g) seed (1015 however, 15 produced superior plant height (125.57 cm). Among levels, application dose ha-1 (125.59 cm), (103.67), (22.47 27.63, (131.47 g), (1020 ha-1). Significantly (1122 obtained treatment combination compared other treatments.
