Abstract
A field experiment was conducted at Poompuhar Village, Sirkazhi Taluk of Mayiladuthurai District during February to April 2020 to study the effect of foliar nutrition on growth and yield of irrigated greengram. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with eight treatments and three replications. Among the different treatments, the foliar application of 2 % vermiwash spray on 30 and 45 DAS (T8) recorded significantly the higher growth attributes such as plant height (54.23 cm), leaf area index (3.78), dry matter production (3992 kg ha-1), number of branches plant-1 (6.38), crop growth rate (7.80 g m-2 day-1) and seed yield (931 kg ha-1), haulm yield (3008 kg ha-1), harvest index (23.6 %). This was followed by foliar application of 3 % panchakavya on 30 and 45 DAS (T5). The lower growth attributes and seed yield (508 kg ha-1) was obtained in control (T1).
