 ABSTRACT

Integrated Crop Management (ICM) on pigeon pea were laid down at 50 farmer’s fields to demonstrate production potential and economic benefits of improved production technologies in Jewargi and Chittapur taluk of Kalaburagi district in Karnataka state during Kharif season during  2016-17. The findings of the study revealed that ICM practices recorded a mean yield of 1550 kg/ha. which is 14.81  per cent higher than obtained with farmer’s practice (1350 kg/ha). The improved production technologies gave higher benefit cost ratio (2.95) compared to local checks (2.57) being grown by farmers under locality. The productivity of pigeon pea per unit area could be increased by adopting feasible scientific and sustainable management practices with a suitable variety. Considering the above facts, ICM demonstrations were carried out in a systematic and scientific manner on farmer’s field to show the worth of improved practices and convincing farming community about potentialities of improved production management technologies of pigeon pea for further adoption by the farming community.

Key words: Pigeon pea, ICM, Technology, Production.
