Influence of Foliar Nutrition on Growth and Yield of Pulses Grown under North Eastern Dry Zone of Karnataka: A Review

Influence of plant growth regulators and nutrients on biometric, growth and yield attributes in Blackgram (Vigna mungoL.)

“…Blackgram [Vignamungo(L.) Hepper] occupies an important place among the premier pulse crops in India. Blackgram is an extensively grown grain legume and belongs to Fabaceae family and got noticeable significance from the point of food and nutritional security in the world (Thakur et al 2017). Blackgram is a perfect combination of all nutrients which include 20 to 25% proteins, 40 to 47% starch, ash fats, carbohydrates and essential vitamins (Manjri et al, 2018).…”

Effects of Nipping and Micronutrient Foliar Application on Dry Matter Production, Yield, Agronomic Efficiency and Nutrient Uptake of Short Duration Pigeonpea (Cajanus Cajan L.) Co(Rg)- 7

“…Phosphorus also enhanced root growth which helps in greater translocation of energy transformation and metabolic processes, photosynthates towards the sink developmentand absorb more plant nutrients from deeper layers of soil resulting in increase in yield components and grain yield. Results of present studies are similar to those reported by Sharma et al, 2009;Singh and Ahlawat, 2007. Foliar application of micronutrients might have been easily absorbed by plant system and translocated more effectively and e ciently into developing pods and might have resulted in proper seed lling which ultimately re ected with higher seed yield(Manomani and Srimathi, 2009: Thakur et al, 2017). Moreover, nipping of terminal buds might have offered congenial crop architecture that exploit the available resources to the maximum extent and resulted in appreciable improvement on growth, yield parameters and on seed yield.…”

Yield and Nutrient Uptake of Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.)] as Influenced by Tillage, Nutrient Levels and Foliar Sprays

“…Among the methods of fertilizer application, foliar nutrition is recognized as an important one, since foliar nutrients usually penetrate the leaf cuticle or stomata and enters the cells facilitating easy, rapid utilization and supplying nutrient instantly to crop [7]. Foliar nutrition with nitrogen (N) at later stage of crop growth delays the synthesis of abscisic acid and promotes cytokinin activity causes high chlorophyll retention and thereby photosynthetic activity in effective leaves for supply of current photosynthates to the grains resulting in higher yield [8].…”
