Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural College Farm, Raichur on medium deep black soils during Kharif season of 2014 to study the influence on nutrient management practices of pigeonpea in the intercropping system with sesame. The sole crop pigeonpea produced significantly higher seed yield (1613 kg ha-1), dry matter production at harvest (166.33 g plant-1), dry matter accumulation in reproductive parts at harvest (36.91 g plant-1), number of pods per plant (128.69), number of seeds per pod (3.65), seed weight per plant (42.47 g) and test weight (12.09 g) when compared to the intercropping treatments. Among the various intercropping treatments, the treatment which received 125 per cent RDF to pigeonpea and no fertilizer to sesame recorded significantly higher dry matter production, seed yield and yield components of pigeonpea when compared to other intercropped treatments and was found on par with treatments viz., 100 per cent RDF to pigeonpea and 100% RDF to sesame, 100 per cent RDF to pigeonpea and 50% RDF to sesame and 100 per cent RDF to pigeonpea and no fertilizer to sesame.
