Abstract:
An experiment was conducted at Agriculture Research Station, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Achalpur (M.S.), India to study the efficacy of phytotonic (V) with time of application in Bengal gram at Achalpur, Amravati district of Maharashtra state during Rabi 2020-21. The foliar spray was applied at flowering, pod filling and flowering and pod filling stage at concentrations (2.0, 2.0 and 2.0 ml liter^-1 of water with RDF as common dose) of phytotonic (V). Foliar applications of phytotonic (V) significantly enhanced the growth and yield parameters. Plant height, mean number of pods and grain yield q/ha was found to be significant with various treatment after second spray count. However non significant results recorded with parameter number of branches. Highest plant height (52.95 cm), mean number of pods (23.75) and grain yield (22.09 q ha^-1) was recorded with treatment RDF + phytotonic (V) - 2 ml litre^-1 at flowering and pod filling stage.
