Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at Central farm of Imayam Institute of Agriculture & Technology, Thuraiyur during kharif 2022 to study the effect of foliar application of nutrients for the yield enhancement of green gram (Vigna radiata. L).The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) and replicated thrice. The results revealed that among the different foliar nutrients, RDF+ foliar spray of 1% Pulse Wonder (T2) resulted in higher LAI and DMP, which was closely followed by 2% DAP spray. Similar to the yield parameters RDF+ foliar spray of 1% Pulse Wonder (T2) produced more number of pods / plant, pod length, 100 grain weight and grain yield. T2- RDF+Foliar Spray of 1% Pulse Wonder produced higher Grain yield of 919 Kg/ha and the highest gross return (Rs. 29,200 /ha), net return (Rs. 12,229 /ha) and BCR (1.72) were obtained with RDF+ foliar spray of 1% Pulse Wonder (T2).
