Table 4

Effect of leaf area index in both raised bed and conventional method.

Method of fertilizer application	LAI at different DAT
	20	40	60	80	100
Fertilizer broadcasting in raised bed	0.60a	4.96b	6.57b	8.35b	6.26b
Fertilizer broadcasting in conventional plot	1.32a	6.23a	12.47a	12.62a	9.47a
Coefficient of variation CV (%)	4.52	6.28	7.45	8.25	5.17
Level of significance	n.s.	**	**	n.s.	*

Where n.s. * and **represent probability of >0.05, ≤0.05, and ≤0.01, respectively. Values were means of three replicates. In a column figures with same letter do not differ significantly whereas figures with dissimilar letter differ significantly (𝑃≤0.01).
