e2“Highest seed yields with 125% RDF through fertigation was because of higher photosynthetic activity which resulted in better development of pods (1006) 100 seed weight (10.2) and finally the water use efficiency (7.80 kg/ha/mm)”
e5“The Study was carried out on Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan)”

- Intervention effect Irrigation at 120% of daily pan evaporation gave the significantly highest seed yield of pigeonpea (3014 kg/ha).
- Observation Harvest index was 24.4 under irrigation at 120% of daily pan evaporation in pigeonpea.
- Observation Number of pods per plant was 1020 under irrigation at 120% of daily pan evaporation in pigeonpea.
- Observation Leaf area index was 4.37 under irrigation at 120% of daily pan evaporation in pigeonpea.
- Observation Radiation use efficiency was 0.26 g/MJ under irrigation at 120% of daily pan evaporation in pigeonpea.
- Observation Water use efficiency was 4.33 under irrigation at 120% of daily pan evaporation in pigeonpea.
- Observation Pods developed better at 125% RDF with fertigation in pigeonpea (1006 pods).
- Observation The 100 seed weight was 10.2 at 125% RDF with fertigation in pigeonpea.
- Observation Water use efficiency was 7.80 kg/ha/mm at 125% RDF with fertigation in pigeonpea.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that micro irrigation could play a key role in higher productivity of pigeonpea.
