In one of study, we have recorded >60cm length of the spike. Recently we have recorded a spike length reaching up to one meter. Please suggest any relevant findings.
You can ask Geeta Chaudhury who has revised this genus. It is definitely a field observation and unlikely to be based on a herbarium specimen.

The length of inflorescence in Achyranthes aspera tend to grow longer if it is growing in shady area with little sunlight. It is highly variable and may reach up to one meter in tropical forest area.

Yes may reach up to one meter. But the exact reference of recorded length is required.
