Type: article
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during 1989 and 1990 to study the effect of post-n~onsoon irrigation, Rhizobium inoculation and nitrogen on yield and yield attributes of BDN 2 pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan 6.) Millsp.] in Vertisol of south Gujarat. Irrigation treatments except control did not differ significantly for their effect on grain yield but gave significantly higher grain yield over no irrigation (control). Among the irrigated treatments, irrigation water : cumulative pan evaporation (IW : CPE) ratio of 0.25 showed its superiority to the others and recorded the higher grain yield of 17.39 qtha. The seed treatment with Rhizobium did not exert its significant effect on seed yield, while the application of nitrogen @ 20 kgha -gave significantly highest (18.32 qha) grain yield.
