Effect of sowing methods and N applications on growth and yield of Swiss chard cv Kalam Selection was studied Three sowing methods (plain sowing, single side ridge sowing and double side ridge sowing) and six N levels (0, 30, 50, 80, 110, and 140 kg N ha-10) were included. The experiment was laid out in RCBD with factor arrangement in four replications. The net plot size was 3m x 6m. Both different N levels and sowing methods expressed no effect in number of days taken to germination but negative effect of N was observed in case of number of days taken to edible maturity and a shorter period for edible maturity was recorded in plain sowing. Leaf fresh yield and growth vigor like plant height. number of leaves per plant and leaf area were significantly affected by N levels and sowing methods while seed yield was only significantly affected by N levels. file results revealed that Swiss chard should be grown on double side ridge with sufficient amount of N to obtain a higher fresh yield.
