Integrated nutrient management in pigeonpea (cajanus cajana).

A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2005 and 2006 to study the effect of fertilizer, farmyard manure and biofertilizers on growth and yield of pigeonpea. The result revealed that 50%RDF + seed treatment with Rhizobium@200 g/kg seed recorded significantly more number of branches (16.3/Pl.), pods (151.3/Pl.), higher grain yield (1358 kg/ha) and net returns (Rs. 15541/-) followed by RDF+FYM and Rhizobium inoculation (14/Pl., 142/Pl.,1325 kg/ha and Rs. 13304/-) and 50%RDF+ dual inoculation with Rhizobium and PSB (14/Pl, 133/Pl., 1305 kg/ha and Rs. 14462/-) respectively.
