Snap bean is one of the important legume vegetable crops. Snap bean production in Ethiopia has both challenge and opportunity. Among them, higher response opportunities, the appropriate row spacing, suitable production area, export potential, and finally its nutritional value can be stated. However, there are limited researches regarding the response of snap bean to different row spacing. Currently Ethiopia is establishing the use of appropriate row spacing in different part of the country to manage the loose of pods. But, site and crop specific optimum row spacing is not done yet. eight treatments (row spacing) was evaluated during 2017 offseason by irrigation at Teda experimental site of University of Gondar, northwest part of Ethiopia. The objective of this study was evaluating the’ response of melka verities for different levels of row spacing in the study area. The trail was laid out in the randomized complete block design with three replications. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) show significant variation among spacing for all the parameters studying such as number of pods/plant, pod length, pod diameters, plant height, pod yield and biomass, use LSD method of mean separation at 5% probability level. From the current study, one of the eight spacing 35x10cm identified and recommended.
