Abstract:
The study titled "Impact of drought mitigation techniques on pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L. Milli sp.) yield" was carried out at the Agricultural Research Station, Badnapur during the Kharif season of 2016-17. The experimental field was properly levelled and had good drainage. The soil had a clayey texture, moderate nitrogen availability, low phosphorus availability, high potassium availability, and a moderately alkaline pH. The environmental conditions during the experiment were favourable for the normal growth and maturity of the pigeon pea crop. The experiment followed a randomized block design with ten treatments, with one treatment being replicated three times. The gross plot size of each experimental unit was 5.4 m x 4.0 m, while the net plot size was 3.6 m x 3.6 m. Sowing was done on July 02, 2016 using the dibbling method with a spacing of 90 x 20 cm. Seed treatment, pest and disease management, and fertilizer management were carried out according to the recommended practices for all treatments.

Seed treatment, pest and disease management, and fertilizer management were carried out according to the recommended practices for all treatments.
The findings indicated that the yield attributing characteristics, yield, and harvest index of pigeon pea were significantly higher with the application of Pusa hydrogel @ 2.5 kg ha-1 combined with mulching using organic residue @ 5 t ha-1 (T9) compared to the other treatments. Following closely were the treatments involving Vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 combined with Pusa hydrogel @ 2.5 kg ha-1 (T7), and the treatment (T8) which included FYM @ 5 t ha-1 combined with Pusa hydrogel @ 2.5 kg ha-1, along with a 2% KH2PO4 spray during flowering and a 2% KNO3 spray during pod development stage. The outcome of the current investigation concluded that the treatment (T9) involving Pusa hydrogel @ 2.5 kg ha-1 combined with mulching using organic residue @ 5 t ha-1 was advantageous for farmers.
