Abstract
Investigation was carried out in pigeonpea cv. TS-3R during kharif
2016 at Seed Farm, College of Agriculture Vijayapura, Karnataka
(Zone -3). The experiment was carried out in a randomized block
design with thirteen tratments viz., T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 band
application of vermicompost @0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 t ha-1,
respectively. The treatments T7, T8, T9, T10, T11 and T12 band
application of sieved FYM @ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 T13: Broadcast
application of FYM @ 6.0 t ha-1, respectively and were compare
with broadcast application of FYM @ 6.0 t ha-1, (T13). The results
revealed that treatment T6: Band application of vermicompost @ 3.0
t ha-1 recorded significantly higher plant height (153.67 cm), number
of branches (14.29), total dry matter production per plant (162.67 g)
at harvest and yield attributes viz., number of pods per plant (116.00),
seed yield per plant (37.35 g), seed yield (`1647 kg ha-1), stalk yield
(2920 kg ha-1) and harvest index (0.36). Significantly higher gross
return, net return and benefit cost ratio were realized with the band
application of VC @ 3 t ha-1 (90,574 ha-1, 59410 ha-1 and 2.92,
respectively) and 2.92, repsectively and were on par with
the treatments band application of sieved FYM @4, 5 and 6 tonnes
per ha and VC @ 2 and 2.5 tonnes per ha and was on par with T12,
T11, T10, T5, T4.
