Abstract: The experiment was conducted at AnbilDharmalingam Agricultural College and Research Institute, Trichy during summer season of 2018-19 to study the effect of foliar nutrition on the productivity of green gram. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design and replicated thrice with eight treatments comprising of T1- Control + T2- Foliar spray of DAP 2% + T3- Foliar spray of KCl 2% + T4- Foliar spray of Pulse wonder @ 2 kg ac-1 + T5- Foliar spray of Panchakavya 5% + T6- Foliar spray of Cow urine 5% + T7- Foliar spray of Vermiwash 5% + T8 – Foliar spray of PPFM 2%. The highest growth parameters, plant height, number of branches per plant, leaf Area Index and dry matter production (kg ha-1) were recorded with the foliar application of TNAU Pulse wonder @ 2 kg ac-1 at 15, 30, 45 and 60 DAS. The same treatment had significantly recorded higher grain yield of 839 kg ha-1. It was followed by the application Panchakavya 5% registered 834 kg ha-1. From the above results, it has been concluded that foliar spray of TNAU Pulse wonder @ 2 kg ac-1 to enhance the productivity and higher profitability in green gram.
