Abstract: An experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Research Farm, RVSKVV College of Horticulture, Mandsaur (Madhya Pradesh) during the rabi season of 2013-2014 to study the effect of row spacing and nitrogen levels on the growth and yield of dill (Anethum graveolens L.).The experiment consisted of 3 levels of row spacing (40×10 cm 2 , 50×10 cm 2 and 60×10 cm 2 ) and 4 levels of nitrogen (0, 25, 50 and 75 kg N ha -1 ).These treatments were evaluated under factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications.Different levels of row spacing and nitrogen significantly affect the plant height, branches, umbels, umbellate, seeds umbel -1 , days to 50% flowering, chlorophyll content in leaves, fresh and dry weight of plant, test weight, seed, straw and biological yield, harvest index, gross return, net return and B:C ratio of dill.Among various levels of row spacing tried, 50×10 cm 2 row spacing exhibited significantly higher growth and yield attributes and recorded significantly maximum seed yield of 15.04 q ha -1 which was 42.56% higher as compare to row spacing of 40×10 cm 2 .Among the various nitrogen levels tried, 75 kg N ha -1 exhibited significant maximum growth, yield attributes and quality of dill.Further treatment observed significant higher seed yield of 14.48 q ha -1 which was 57.22% higher with B:C ratio of 3.08 in comparison to other nitrogen levels (control).
