Hybrid castor crops produced higher seed yields during rabi season compared to closer spacing.
The best-performing hybrid, YRCH 1, yielded 19% more seeds at 120 x 120 cm compared to 90 x 90 cm.
The study used a split plot design to evaluate different hybrids and spacing of castor plants.
Wider spacing in hybrid castor reduces plant competition, allowing for more effective growth.
