On Farm Testing on Foliar Application of Nutrients and Growth Regulators in Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.)

Background: Onfarm Testings were conducted to asses effect of TNAU Pulse wonder in pigeonpea variety LRG-52 ten farmer’s holdings kurnool district during kharif from 2018-19 2020-21. Methods: The experiment consisted 7 technology options (treatments). T1: consisting recommended dose fertilizers along with spraying pulse @ 5 kg ha-1 flowering and 15 days after 1st spray, T2: 75% RDF + at flowering, T3: 50% flowering,T4: 100% RDF+ 2% DAP pod formation stage T5: alone (20:50: 0 NPK ha-1),T6: Farmers practice ( 30: 60: 10 ),T7: Control. Data was analyzed using least significant difference R software. Result: results revealed that the T1 recorded highest plant height (130,129,127 cm 2018-19, 2019-20 2020-21 respectively). lowest flower shedding observed treatment while it under T6 all three years study. Pod yield (1889, 1870 ,1873 2019-2020 respectively) T7. average benefit cost ratio (4.0) realized farmers (T6). Seed positively correlated number flowers -1 (r value 0.813, 0.762 0.735) test weight 0.795,0.8 0.754) negatively r -0.788,-0.712 -0.750) respectively. final crop is cumulative effects growth attributes which manipulate favorable parameters for higher yields.
