Present investigation was carried out at experimentation centre and research field of School of Forestry & Environment, SHIATS, Allahabad, to study the effect of spacing on the growth and yield of different varieties of black gram (Vigna radiata L.) under Subabul (Leucaena leucocephala) based agrosilviculture system. The maximum plant height (36.73 cm), absolute growth rate (0.79 g day-1), number of pods (15.63 pods plant-1), number of grains (8.6 grains pod-1) and straw yield (14.23 q ha-1) was recorded in Treatment T6 (30 X 15 cm with T 9 variety). Whereas, maximum number of branches (7.26 branches plant-1), leaves (21.73 leaves plant-1), nodules (16.75 nodules plant-1), dry weight (23.96 g), pod length (8.11 cm) and test weight (4.53 g) was recorded in treatment T9 (40 X 15 cm with T9 variety). Grain yield (8.13 q ha-1) and harvest index (37.87 %) was recorded in treatment T3 (20 X 15 cm with T9 variety) and treatment T8 (40 X 15 cm with Shekhar 2 variety) respectively.
