Author(s): Lewade AD, Narkhede WN and Bhadre CK
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at farm, AICRP on Integrated Farming Systems, VNMKV, Parbhani (M.S.) on clayey textured soil to study the effect of land configurations and foliar sprays on Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) + Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Mill sp.) Intercropping system under rainfed condition†during kharif 2016. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design with three replications. A treatment consist of three land configuration viz., Flat Bed & Ridges and Furrow with 4:2 soybean + pigeonpea intercrop ratio and Broad Bed Furrow with 2:1 soybean + pigeonpea intercrop ratio assigned to the main plots and four foliar sprays viz., Water, Kaolin @ 6%, KNO3 @ 2% and MgCO3 @ 5% applied to sub plots. The outcome revealed that cultivation of intercrop on BBF produced higher number of leaves, plant height, straw and biological yield as well as grain yield and harvest index. The spray of KNO3 2% resulted in significantly higher growth attributes and grain yield over water, Kaolin @ 6% and MgCO3 @ 5%. Interaction effect between land configuration and foliar spray were non-significant.
