In the present study, 38 frontline demonstrations (FLDs) on chickpea variety (PBG-7) were conducted in an area of 15 ha during Rabi 2021-22 and 2022-23 for demonstrating improved cultivation technologies to the farmers. Results of front-line demonstrations showed that the cultivation practices comprised under FLDs viz., use of improved varieties, optimum seed rate, balanced application of fertilizers, line sowing, timely management of weeds, insects and disease, produced grain yield of 13.2 q ha-1 and 13.1q ha-1 during Rabi 2021-22 and 2022-23 respectively which was 53.8% higher as compared to the prevailing farmers practice. The findings of the study showed that the technology gap for chickpea was 6.8 q ha-1 and 6.9 q ha-1 during Rabi 2021-22 and 2022-23 with an average of 6.85 q ha-1 over the two years. The technology index was 34.0 and 34.5 percent during Rabi 2021-22 and 2022-23, respectively with a mean value of 34.2%. The extension gap was 4.5 q ha-1 and 4.7 q ha-1 for the years 2021 and 2022 with the average value of 4.6 q ha-1 over the two years. The data reported that the technology demonstrated fetched more average gross returns (Rs. 92,050 ha-1), net return (Rs. 70,050 ha-1) and B:C ratio (4.1) over two years compared to farmers practice. On the other hand, under farmers’ practice, the average gross returns was Rs. 59,850 ha-1, average net profit to the tune was Rs. 37,250 ha-1 and the average B: C ratio was 2.6 over two years.

The constantly increasing gap in the demand to supply for pigeon pea has been a matter of concern to pigeon pea researchers in India to increase productivity and production. The entomophily abet cross-pollination behavior of pigeon pea is a desirable crop to develop and establish the hybrid system to exploit the commercial heterosis. Keeping this in view, pigeon pea research was directed towards a new initiative on hybrid pigeon pea breeding at ICRISAT, Hyderabad immediately after the identification of a male sterile line in 1974. Which in turn led to the development of a new GMS hybrid called ICPH 8 in 1991 for cultivation in the central zone. Then five GMS hybrids (PPH 4, CoPH 1, CoPH 2, AKPH 4101, and AKPH 2022) in the early maturing group were released by the state and central varietal release committee. Nevertheless, the GMS-based hybrids did not yield much success due to difficulty in the production of commercial F1 seed. Trifurcation of All India Coordinated Pulses Improvement (AICPIP) and further strengthening of AICPRP on pigeon pea led to the development of national level strategic and basic research vis-àvis provided testing platform for varieties and hybrids. The advertent GMS system led to the development of a stable and economically viable CGMS system in pigeon pea after 26 years of its first GMS initiative. The first CGMS line GT 288A and its maintainer B line was registered by Pulse Research Station, SDAU, GAU, SK Nagar, Gujarat in 2000. Consequently, in 2006 the first CMS hybrid GTH 1 was developed by SDAU, Gujarat, and released by CVRC for cultivation in the central zone. Thirty-nine CGMS lines have been registered with ICAR-NBPGR and four CMS-based hybrids (ICPH 2671, ICPH 2740, IPH 15-03, and IPH 09-5) are released for cultivation. It is to endorse that the joint efforts of the ICAR-NARS and ICRISAT led to the establishment of the hybrid system in pigeon pea by sharing the materials and technology. Nonetheless, supplying quality hybrid seed is a mammoth task to reap the true potential of hybrid technology in pigeon pea.

In the present investigation, the effect of phosphorus (P) levels and biofertilizers on nutrient uptake, quality and yield of chickpea was studied over two years during Rabi 2021–22 and 2022–23. The study revealed significantly higher uptake of N, P and potassium (K) by seed and stover, higher protein content, grain, and stover yield on the application of 50 kg ha-1 P. Similarly application of 50 kg ha-1 P along with bio-fertilizers (PSB + Rhizobium) also showed higher N, P and K uptake by seed and stover, higher protein content and protein yield, grain and stover yield and this combination was identified the most promising treatment for enhancing chickpea yield.

Lentil is one of the world’s most important cool-season grain legumes. The frequency of natural recombinants and segregants under natural conditions is very low in lentil due to their cleistogamous flower. The present investigation depicted the emergence of desirable transgressive segregants obtained from spontaneous mutation. Exploiting these hypervariable mutants, a highyielding lentil variety RKL 58F-3715 (Kota Masoor 4; KM 4) was developed from the progeny of a natural variant. The identified single deviated plant from the seed production plot of DPL 62 was probably a spontaneous mutation. During generation advancement, the progenies showed hypervariable segregants, especially for seed morphological traits, such as size, shape, colour and texture. The breeding cycles following rigorous selection under modified pedigree and single seed descent delivered the high-yielding stable genotype KM 4. Hypervariable progenies were obtained from natural mutants, distinguished in morphological traits such as earliness, light foliage colour, and prominent tendrils from the parent variety. The national weighted mean over locations over the year of KM 4 for grain yield was 1865 kg/ha, with yield superiority of 22.80% over national check DPL 62. Considerable resistance against major diseases, i.e., wilt and rust, makes it a durable genotype for commercial cultivation in major lentil-growing areas of India.

Spodoptera litura (Noctuidae: Lepidoptera) is a notorious leaf damaging pest in Tamil Nadu in pigeonpea and responsible for considerable yield loss. A new biological insecticide spinetoram 12 SC was evaluated for effect on S. litura on pigeonpea at field conditions during 2012–13 and 2013–14 kharif season. Spinetoram 12 SC was applied as foliar spray at 27, 36 and 45 g a.i. ha−1 and compared with emamectin benzoate 5 SG @ 11 g a.i. ha-1, spinosad45 SC @ 78 g a.i. ha−1 and monocrotophos 36 SL@ 500 g a.i. ha−1. Results indicated that spinetoram 12 SC was significantly effective at 36 and 45 g a.i. ha−1 when sprayed thrice at 15 days interval in minimizing larval population on pigeonpea and in increasing the grain yield. All the spinetoram doses did not show any phytotoxic symptoms on pigeonpea.
斜纹夜蛾(夜蛾科:鳞翅目)是泰米尔纳德邦鸽子豌豆的主要害叶害虫,造成相当大的产量损失。在2012-13和2013-14两季的田间条件下,评价了新型生物杀虫剂spinetoram 12sc对斜纹夜蛾对鸽子豌豆的防治效果。Spinetoram 12 SC分别以27、36和45 g a.i. ha-1叶面喷施,并与苯甲酸埃维菌素5 SG @ 11 g a.i. ha-1、Spinetoram 45 SC @ 78 g a.i. ha-1和单效磷36 SL@ 500 g a.i. ha-1进行比较。结果表明,在36和45 g a.i. ha - 1剂量下,每隔15 d喷施三次spinetoram 12sc,可显著减少鸽豆幼虫数量,提高籽粒产量。所有剂量的spinetoram对鸽豆均未显示出任何植物毒性症状。
