“…A study by Kithan et al [7] also reported the different flowering and maturing days, plant height and seed yield due to the effect of varietal characteristics in pigeonpea production, where they noted higher yield of variety UPAS 120 (969 kg/ha), among the three tested varieties. The yield variation in pigeonpea due to varietal difference was also noted by Kuri, Chawhan and Rani et al [5,9,14] in their study. A researcher [15] reported that seed yield of pigeonpea depends on source and sink relation which in turn depends on environmental factors.…”

“…The late sowing pigeonpea affects seed germination due to higher soil moisture and affects yield due to lower temperature coupled with low rainfall during reproductive and maturity stages [12,13]. The shorter plant and longer days for flowering and maturity and low yield of pigeonpea in late sown as compared to early sown condition were also observed by different authors [5,6,9], where they reported 37%, 397% and 7% more yield under earlier sown condition than later sown condition, respectively. The results of the study are conformity with the findings of [7,13,14], where they found early sowing of pigeonpea was more productive with regard to growth and yield parameters.…”

“…There are several constraints like drought, unavailability of suitable variety, inappropriate time of sowing, poor plant population, etc. for the lower productivity of pigeonpea [5,6]. The study by [7][8][9] also reported the severe yield reduction of pigeonpea due to the inappropriate sowing time and variety.…”

Aims: An unsuitable sowing time and selection of inappropriate variety were the main yield limiting factors in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L. Millsp.) cultivation. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted to study the effect of sowing dates on growth and yield of pigeonpea varieties. Study Design: The experiment was laid out in spit plot design. Place and Duration of Study: This experiment was conducted at the Grain Legumes Research Program (GLRP), Khajura, Banke, Nepal in two consecutive years, 2020/21 and 2021/22. Methodology: The experiment consisted five sowing dates treatments viz., 2nd July, 17th July, 1st August, 16th August and 31st August as the main-factor and two promising varieties viz., ICPL-88039 and MA-6 as the sub-factor, with three replications. Results: Both the sowing time and variety significantly influenced all the tested growth and yield parameters of pigeonpea at one percent significance level. Early sowing (2nd July) recorded longer days to flowering and maturity and taller plants that affected the yield. Pigeonpea produced the highest (P ≤ 0.01) seed yield (1482 kg/ha), while seeded on 2nd July. Moreover, the pigeonpea sown on 2nd to 17th July produced 36% more seed yield than sown on 1st to 31st August. Similarly, a promising variety of pigeonpea MA-6 (1028 kg/ha) produced significantly higher (P ≤ 0.01) seed yield compared to the variety ICPL-88039 (888 kg/ha). Conclusion: The study identified the 2nd July as the most appropriate time of sowing and the MA-6 as a high yielding variety of pigeonpea for the study area in Mid-Western Terai Region of Nepal.

“…However, further increases in row spacing failed to compensate for the reduction in grain yield due to the lower plant density observed by [23]. [24] also found significantly higher total dry matter production in wider row spacing than in narrow row spacing. However, narrow row spacing recorded substantially higher grain and stalk yield per hectare.…”

Intensive growth of the pigeonpea crop in Central and South India, caused by adequate rainfall, resulted in taller plants with fewer fruited branches, leading to lower yields. However, pigeonpea crops could produce more pods if they restricted apical growth. Nipping (Cutting off the top growing portion) and planting distances are effective techniques to control apical dominance. Thus, there is a need to explore the benefits of simple techniques like nipping and planting distance, suppressing apical dominance. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the best nipping time and planting distance for pigeonpea in a rainfed environment to increase productivity. The experiment was conducted at the Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth (Agricultural University), Akola (Maharashtra), India, between 2018 and 2020. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with two factors with three replications. There were three timings of nipping (45 days after planting, 60 days after planting, and no nipping) and four planting distances (90cm x 30cm, 120cm x 30cm, 150cm x 30cm, and 180cm x 30cm). Results indicated that early loss of apical dominance due to the nipping at 45 days after planting resulted in reduced plant height, increased branches, dry-matter accumulation, pods per plant, and markedly increased pigeon pea productivity by 11 percent. In addition, Pigeonpea crops' growth and yield parameters improved when planted at 180cm x 30cm. However, growing pigeonpea at a distance of 90cm x 30cm resulted in significantly higher pigeonpea seed yield, harvest index, and rainwater use efficiency than planting at a wider spacing.

“…This might be owing to availability of more space per plant which leads to better plant geometry. Kuri et al (2018) reported significantly higher number of branches at wider row spacing. Widest row spacing of 100 cm × 20 cm resulted in significantly higher yield attributes of pigeonpea, viz.…”

The experiment was conducted at Students Research Farm, Khalsa College, Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, Punjab, during the rainy (kharif) season of 2020–21, to study the effect of different row spacing and intercropping systems on growth and yield of ‘Pusa Arhar 16’ pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.]. Results showed that, number of branches/plant and yield attributes were significantly higher under 100 cm × 20 cm than in 50 cm × 20 cm, while the seed yield of pigeonpea (1.41 tonnes/ha) and pigeonpea-equivalent yield (1.78 tonnes/ha) were found significantly higher under narrow spacing 50 cm × 20 cm than wider spacing, i.e., 100 cm × 20 cm (1.02 and 1.33 tonnes/ha). Higher net returns (80.4 × 103 `/ha) and benefit: cost (B : C) ratio (4.08) were recorded in 50 cm × 20 cm than in 75 cm × 20 cm (73.4 × 103 `/ha and 3.84) and 100 cm × 20 cm (53.9 × 103 `/ha and 3.10). Among the different intercropping systems, pigeonpea + pearlmillet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] fodder gave the maximum pigeonpea-equivalent yield of 1.85 tonnes/ha, being superior to 1.31 tonnes/ha in sole pigeonpea and 1.38 tonnes/ha of pigeonpea + fingermillet, while it was at par with pigeonpea + greengram [Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek] (1.80 tonnes/ha). Pigeonpea + pearlmillet fodder fetched higher net returns (84.8 × 103 `/ha) and B : C (4.25) ratio among the different intercropping systems.
