Abstract:
The field experiment carried out during
Kharif season of 2018 and 2019 at College of Agriculture, Gwalior to evaluate the performance of pigeonpea under different land configurations. The trials involved three land configurations i.e., Flat bed (C
1), Ridge and furrow (C
2) and Opening of furrow after two row (C
3) with 3 replications. The study revealed that among different land configurations, ridge and furrow method gave significantly higher values of all growth attributes viz., plant height (cm) and number of branches plant
-1 ; yield attributes viz., , number of pods plant
-1, number of seed pod
-1 and test weight and yield viz., seed and straw yield (kg/ha), Harvest index (%) over rest of the other treatments, respectively. Hence, it was conducted that treatment Ridge and furrow (C
2) was economically feasible as compared to other methods of sowing of pigeonpea.
