Effect of soil and foliar application of nitrogen on yield attributes and yield of clusterbean [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.] under extreme Thar desert conditions.

摘要

A field experiment was conducted to assess nitrogen application effects on yield attributes and yield of clusterbean during kharif 2011 at Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, India. Nitrogen application showed significant variations in yield attributes and seed yield. N application had significant improvement in number, weight and length of pod. Among the tested treatments, highest seed yield was recorded with application of 20 kg N/ha combined with foliar application of urea @ 1% at vegetative and flowering stages, which was significantly superior over all treatments except basal application of nitrogen 20 kg/ha along with 1% urea foliar spray at flowering stage treatment.
