Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at College of Agriculture and Research Station, IGKV, Bemetara (Chhattisgarh) to effect of different planting dates on growth and yield of transplanted pigeonpea in Chhattisgarh plain region during kharif season of 2016. An experiment comprising of seven treatments i.e. dates of transplanting viz., 10th July (T1) 20th July (T2) 30th July (T3), 9th August (T4), 19th August (T5), 29th September (T6) and 8th September (T7) laid out in randomized complete block design with three replication. Results revealed that all the growth and yield attributes of pigeonpea influenced significantly due to varying dates of planting. Crop planted on 7th July resulted in taller plants with a maximum height of 199.57 cm coupled with greater number of branches (35.70 plant-1), nodule counts (55.12 plant-1), dry matter accumulation (175.32 g plant-1) and LAI (3821.25). Superior yield attributes such as pods (201.00 plant-1), as well as total seeds (793.34 plant-1) were also recorded from early transplanted crop i.e. 7th July among all the dates of transplanting. The better growth and yield attributes of pigeonpea planted on 7th July resulted in highest grain (2094 kg ha-1) and stover (9186 kg ha-1) yields from transplanted pigeonpea compared to rest of treatments.
