The effect of date of sowing and plant spacing on yield of seed and volatile oil of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.).
Wider spacing produced taller fennel plants. The compound umbels per plant increased as the distance between plants increased. The yield of seed per plant was greater in wider spacing. On the other hand, the medium space (30 cm) produced higher seed and oil contant per acre. Early sown plants produced taller plants, with higher compound umbels. The oil percentage was not affected while higher yield of seed and oil were significantly obtained.
