Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L. Millsp.) is commonly known as Redgram or Arhar or Tur in India. It is a tropical crop grown in India, predominantly during the kharif season. It’s deep rooting and drought tolerant character makes it a successful crop in areas of low and uncertain rainfall. Plant geometry of crop has a great role in crop growth as well as seed production. Proper plant population reflects the higher yield of crop. Grain yield is product of plant populations and the single plant yield. Maximum yield in a particular cultivars and environment can be obtained at the density where competition between the plants is low. This will be attained at an optimum plant density, which not only utilizes light, moisture and nutrients more efficiently but also avoids excessive competition among the plants. Based on climatic conditions, researchers obtained differential response of pigeonpea in relation to row spacing. The present investigation deals with impact of different planting geometry in pigeon pea on growth and its productivity.
