The single factor experiment was laid out in a
Randomized Complete Block Design with three
replications. The whole experimental area was
8.5 m × 8.0 m, which was divided into three
blocks. Each block was again divided into 4
plots and hence there were 12 (4×3) unit plots.
The size of unit plot was 2.0 m × 1.5 m. The
distance between two adjacent blocks and plots
were 1.0 m and 0.5 m, respectively. The
experiment consisted of four levels of nitrogen
viz., N0 = Control, N1= 70 kg N/ha, N2= 100 kg
N/ha and N3= 130 kg N/ha. The treatments were
assigned randomly in each block separately.
