Experiments were conducted on the sandy loam soils of west coast of Uttara Kannada district in rice fallows under receding soil moisture conditions during rabilsummer seasons of 1983-84, 1984-85 and 1985-86. These experiments were laidout at three locations namely Amadalli, Ankola and Holanagadde to find out the optimum stand geometry for Cv. Dh-3-30. During 1983-84 at Ankola significant differences were observed for pod yield. Highest pod yield of 3427 kg per ha was obtained in local method of sowing behind the plough with spa­cing of 20cm x 10-15 cm. During 1984-85 at Ankola significantly higher pod yield of 3687 kg per ha was recorded at the stand geometry of 20cm x 5 cm over rest of the stand geome­tries except 20 cm x 10 cm. The pod yield data of mean over locations and years indicate that the pod yields differed significantly due to various stand geometries The stand geome­try of 20 cm x 5 cm recorded significantly higher pod yield (3238 kg/ha) than other treat­ments except 20 cm x 10 cm. (2706 kg/ha). There was no significant differences among other stand geometries.
