Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during Kharif season of 2022-2023 at Rajoula Agriculture farm, of Mahatma Gandhi Chitrakoot Gramodaya Vishwavidyalaya Chitrakoot, Satna (M.P.) to evaluate the effect of potassic fertilizer, FYM and vermicompost on growth parameters, yield attributes and yield of pigeon pea. The present experiment having 11 treatment combinations replicated thrice in randomized block design. Pigeon pea variety Rajeshwari Phule-12 was grown with recommended agronomic practices. On the basis of the results emanated from present investigation, it could be concluded that application of T11 [100 % N & P, K- 0 % + 100 % K through Vermicompost] significantly recorded maximum growth parameters such as plant population plot-1 (138.42), plant height (211.38 cm), number of leaves (208.6) and number of branches plant-1 (32.8) and maximum yield attributing characters such as number of pod plant-1 (103.6), number of seed pod-1 (4.4) and seed index (9.68 g).  The result showed highest grain yield (17.69 q ha-1) and straw yield (52.64 q ha-1), with 100% RDF + soil application of treatment T11 [100 % N & P, K- 0 % + 100 % K through Vermicompost] in comparison to all the treatments.
