The field to be sown with the selected varieties was divided 

 into 5 sections and each was sown with San, Chavli, soybeans, and 

 velvet beans respectively, the last and the 5th section being kept 

 fallow for comparison. 



The above crops were ploughed in as they came into flowers. 



The following statement shows the dates of sowing and 

 ploughing in of the several crops grown : 



When the field was harrowed on the 25th September for 

 preparing it for sowing no portions of any of the crops, except a 

 few pieces of San stems which could be broken down by the 

 slightest pressure, could be found undecayed. Within about 

 2 months' time all the crops had thoroughly decayed. In this 

 period of 2 months there were good showers of rain in August 

 and September which helped the process of decay. 



Each of the five sections was divided transversely into 

 23 plots 4 of 8 gunthas each, 12 of 4 gunthas each and seven of 

 1 guntha each and 23 varieties selected according to the above- 

 mentioned three qualities, were sown in these. Thus, each 

 variety got a treatment of the four green manurial crops and the 

 fallow portion. 



The varieties were sown on the 14th and 15th of October 1906. 

 The germination of all was fair. All were irrigated 4 times till 

 they came to maturity. 



The statement below shows the yield of the 5 portions 

 separately of each variety on the different green manured and 

 the fallow portion.
