ABSTRACT
Six pigeonpea genotypes of medium duration hybrids (ICPH 2671, ICPH 2740 and ICPH 3762) and varieties (BDN 711, BSMR 736 and Asha) were evaluated applying different integrated agronomic approaches for the various yield and yield traits of pigeonpea at Vansantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth (VNMKV), Parbhani, Maharashtra in kharif 2011 and 2012. The findings indicated that among the three treatments, T2 recorded the highest seed yield of 4378.87 kg/ha as compared to T3 (3530.71 kg/ha) and T1 (3151.79 kg/ha). Of the six genotypes, ICPH 3762 produced the highest number of pod clusters (394.6), number of pods (725.91) and seed yield/plant (171.98 g) which translated to total seed yield of 3931.51 kg/ha. The effect of genotype × treatment interaction showed that ICPH 3762 with T2 recorded higher number of pod clusters (514.07), more pods (830.13) and better yield/plant (198.47 g) which tantamount to higher seed yield of 4566.67 kg/ha. The results indicated that following spacing of 75 cm x 60 cm along with fertilizer rate of 50 kg N:100 P2O5 kg/ha in split application at 50% as basal and 50% at 60 days after sowing including two protective irrigations (at mid-flowering and mid-pod development stage) significantly increases total seed yield (kg/ha).
