Abstract:
Background: Pigeonpea is one of the major pulse crop cultivated in India. India is the largest producer and consumer of pigeonpea in the world. Pigeonpea have excellent source of high quality protein. The objective of the study to determine the responses of plant growth regulators and Jeevamrut on yield and yield parameters of pigeonpea in view to compensate the high degree of flower abscission and increase the yield of pigeonpea.
Methods: The experiments were executed during 2018-19 and 2019-20 kharif planting season. The experiment comprised of single variety of pigeonpea i.e. PKV -TARA laid out in randomized block design with four replications. The eight treatments consist of two growth regulators i.e. GA3 and NAA at various concentrations i.e. 25, 50 and 75 ppm including Jeevamrut and control.
Results: The results showed that all the treatments has a significant effect on number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, 100 seed weight, seed yield and harvest index of pigeonpea. Foliar application of GA3-75 ppm significantly produced highest seed yield and yield parameters followed by NAA-75 ppm in conventional method and by soil application of Jeevamrut @ 500 l ha-1 in Vedic method.
