Enhancement of Spinach Production by Varying Sowing Dates, Row Spacing and Frequency of Cuttings
Kashif Waseem and Mohammad Amjad Nadeem

Abstract: The enhancement of spinach production was evaluated by varying sowing dates, row spacings and frequency of cuttings. The data were checked on two aspects of spinach i.e. fresh foliage yield and dried foliage yield (Kg ha-1). The analysis of the trial didn’t show the significant variations in case of different sowing dates. However, the maximum fresh foliage as well as dried weight was obtained from October sowing (2082.78 and 207.78 Kg ha-1) respectively. While both the other factors i.e. row spacings and different cuttings revealed significant differences for fresh and dried yield of spinach. Broadcast (S1) and third cutting (C3) gave the highest fresh foliage yield i.e. 2157.59 and 2329.44 Kg ha-1, respectively. Maximum dried weight of spinach (212.37 and 222.61 Kg ha-1) was also obtained from these two levels i.e. broadcasting (S1) and third cutting (C3). More yield from broadcasting and third cutting might be due to high plant stand per unit area, favourable temperature and climate for the spinach growth.
