AGRONOMY
Pigeonpea :
- The farmers of middle Gujarat Agro-climatic Zone-III growing pigeon pea are recommended to grow one row of urdbean as intercrop in pigeon pea grown at 120 cm inter row spacing to get higher yield and net return (2015-16).
Greengram
- The farmers of middle Gujarat Agro-climatic Zone growing semi-rabi greengram (GAM 5) are advised to sow the crop during 3rd week of September at 30 cm spacing for obtaining higher yield and net return (2017-18).
Relay cropping
The farmers of middle Gujarat agro climatic zone are recommended to adopt either black gram-pigeon pea or green gram-pigeon pea relay cropping system for getting higher pigeonpea equivalent yield and net return.
1. In case of black gram-pigeon pea relay cropping, black gram is to be sown at 45 cm apart by first week of July and pigeonpea (AGT 2 or BDN 2 or Vaishali) by first week of September.
2. Whereas, in case of green gram-pigeon pea relay cropping, green gram is to be sown at 45 cm apart by first week of July and pigeonpea (AGT 2 or Vaishali) by first week of September.
3. Keep a row after each two-rows of black gram or greengram for the sowing of pigeon pea.
ENTOMOLOGY (Mungbean & Pigeonpea)
Recommendation : 1
The farmers of middle Gujarat growing pigeon pea are advised to grow their crop in between 25th June to 1st July (26th std. week) to minimize the insect pest problems by using AGT-2 verity to get highest crop return. (2016-17)
Recommendation : 2
Out of 17 greengram genotypes screened, VMG-67 was found resistant against insect pests viz., whitefly, aphid, jassid, thrips, spotted pod borer (Maruca vitrata) and yellow mosaic disease and gave higher grain yield under field conditions. The scientists working in breeding programme are advised to utilise genotype VMG-67 for resistance breeding programme. (2018-19).
Recommendation : 3
Out of 20 blackgram genotypes screened, VUG-07 was found resistant against insect pests viz., whitefly, aphid, jassid, thrips and spotted pod borer, Maruca vitrata and gave higher grain yield under field condition. The scientists working in breeding programme are advised to utilise genotype VUG07 for resistance breeding programme. (2018-19)
