ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural College Farm, Raichur on medium black soil during the kharif 2012-13 to study the influence of nutrient management practices in pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] and clusterbean [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.] intercropping system. Sole pigeonpea recorded significantly higher seed yield (13.14 q ha-1), stalk yield (31.56 q ha-1), husk yield (10.00 q ha-1) and harvest index (0.240), protein content (21.72%), protein yield (2.85 q ha-1) and yield components viz., dry matter accumulation in reproductive parts of plant (35.61 g), number of pods per plant (97.70) and seed yield per plant (40.13 g) and hundred seed weight (11.27 g). Among the intercropped treatments, T4 (125 per cent RDF to pigeonpea and no fertilizer to clusterbean) recorded significantly higher seed yield (10.95 q ha-1) stalk yield (27.91 q ha-1), husk yield (8.64 q ha-1) and harvest index (0.230), protein content (21.56%), protein yield (2.36 q ha-1) and yield attributes over all other treatments (except, T9 in case of protein content and yield). However, the yield, yield components and quality parameters obtained under T3 and T5 were on par with that realised with T4 treatment.
