Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at the Agricultural college and Research Institute, Madurai during Kharif season of 1984 to study the influence of seed treatments with Rhizobium and superphosphate along with soil and foliar fertilization of N and P on redgram CV Co.4 under rainfed condition in sandy clay loam type of soil. The results revealed that basal application of 6.25 kg N and 12.5 kg Pâ‚‚Os followed by foliar spray of three per cent diammonium phosphate recorded higher plant height number of branches, leaf area index, dry matter production and seed yield, where as the seed treatment with Rhizobium and super phosphate had influenced only on dry matter production and seed yield of redgram.
