Abstract:

A field experiment was conducted during Kharif season of 2016 to study the effect of organic nutrient management practices on growth and yield of pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) in sandy loam soils of Zonal Agricultural and Horticultural Research Station, Navile Shivamogga, Karnataka. Among the different nutrient management treatments, application of recommended dose of FYM along with 100% N equivalent vermicompost has recorded significantly higher grain yield (10.89 q/ha) as compared to rest of the treatments. Similarly higher pods per plant (223.3 pods/plant) test weight (11.3 g/100 seeds) yield per plant (84 g/plant) also recorded with the same treatment and it was closely followed by application of recommended dose of FYM along with application of 100% N equivalent FYM. Maximum soil microbial population at different growth stages were also observed in the treatment which received recommended dose of FYM along with 100% N equivalent vermicompost.
