An experiment was conducted at Malakandher Research Farm, NWFP Agricultural University, Peshawar during 1996-97 to study the effect of steckling ages (two, three and four months old stecklings), steckling sizes (2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 cm) and steckling spacings (45x45, 45x30 and 45x15 cm). Three months old stecklings produced the highest number of siliquae per plant at 5 % level of confidence. However, the age of steckling was ineffectual to cause considerable differences in the number of seeds per siliqua. The number of siliqua and seed per siliqua were positively correlated with steckling size and spacing. Three months old stecklings gave significantly more seeds followed by four months old stecklings and two months old stecklings. Three months old stecklings with 7.5 cm steckling size and 45x15 cm spacing was superior to other treatments considered in this experiment.
