The field investigation was conducted at experimental farm, Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, VNMKV, Parbhani, during summer 2014 to find out results of growth and quality parameters. The experimental field was levelled and well drain. The soil was clay in texture, low in nitrogen, medium in phosphorous, medium in potash and alkaline in reaction. The experiment was laid out in a Split plot design with 12 treatment combinations, which comprised of four land configurations and three varieties. The main plots treatments were L1- Ridges and furrows, L2- BBF, L3- Sara method and L4- Flat beds and varieties were LGN-1, TAG-24, and SB-XI. Each experimental unit was replicated three times. Amongst land configuration BBF recorded significantly higher growth parameters viz., plant height (cm), number of branches, functional leaves, leaf area, number of nodules, total dry matter (g), number of gynophores, developed pods and developed pods and in Quality parameters, shelling percent, oil content and protein content, followed by Ridges and furrows. Among the varieties TAG-24 recorded highest values of growth and quality parameters as compared to the varieties SB-XI and LGN-1.
