Experiment code 13.2.3.56
Experiment Title Response of pigeonpea to spacing and fertility levels under rainfed condition of south Gujarat
Research Type Departmental Research
Experiment Background Pigeonpea is one of the important and protein rich grain legume of semi-arid tropics grown throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world and particular in India. Demand of tur is increase day by day and to meet the demand we have to increase the productivity with proper management. For that, spacing and nutrient management can play a vital role for increasing the productivity of pigeonpea. Therefore, this experiment entitled “Response of pigeonpea to spacing and fertility levels under rainfed condition south Gujarat” was proposed.
