N2  - Two field experiments were carried out at Sakha Agricultural Research Station during 2000/2001 and 2001/2002 seasons, to study the effect of planting methods (strip method, drilling method 12.5, 10.0 and 7.5 cm. apart and manual broadcast) and seeding rates (60, 70, 80 and 90 kg seeds/fed.). The treatments were arranged in a split-plot design with four replications. The main plOts were assigned to application methods of planting and the sub-plot to seeding rates.  The results obtained can be summarized as follows: 1. The differences between planting methods were significant for all straw and seed characters and strip method recorded the highest values. 2. A gradual and significant increments in technical stem length, straw yield per plant as well as per fed., fiber yield per plant.as well as per fed. and long fiber percentage were obtained with increasing seeding rate from 60 up to 90 kg seeds/fed
