Field experiments were conducted at ICAR Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Perambalur district (TN) to study the effect of foliar application of nutrients on the phenotypic enhancement of Blackgram variety CO8, during the summer seasons of 2024-25. The experiments were laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. The growth and yield components of Blackgram viz., plant height, leaf area index, dry matter production, number of pods plant-1, pod length, number of seeds pod-1 and grain yield were favourably influenced by foliar application of 1 % pulse wonder spray on 30 DAS and 45 DAS (T2). The control (T1) recorded the lowest values with the above growth attributes. Among the treatments, foliar application of 1% pulse wonder spray on 30 DAS and 45 DAS (T2) recorded the highest growth attributes viz., plant height, LAI, Nodule number and nodule biomass DMP, Absolute Growth Rate (AGR), Crop Growth Rate (CGR) and Leaf Area Duration (LAD) in Summer the season.
KEYWORDS
To boost the productivity of Blackgram, it can be concluded and recommended that the foliar application of 1% pulse wonder spray on 30 DAS and 45 DAS (T2) is found to be sustainable and most efficiently suitable nutrient management technology for maximizing the Blackgram productivity in a cost-effective approach and sustain the soil fertility.
