Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan), an important food legume crop in the semi-arid regions of the world<br />

and the second most important pulse crop in India. Pigeonpea is a nutritious legume crop that<br />

has the ability to fix nitrogen, grow on marginal lands and has multipurpose use for human<br />

consumption, animal feed and fuel. India is the largest producer and consumer of the crop.<br />

However, t<strong>here</strong> is growing interest to produce the crop by other countries. Field experiment<br />

was conducted at Agricultural College and Research Institute, Madurai, Tamilnadu, India<br />

during Kharif 2010 and summer 2011 to study the effect of transplanting pigeonpea enhance<br />

the nutrient uptake through foliar nutrition spray of water soluble fertilizer. In this study,<br />

different age of transplanting seedling combine with foliar nutrition spray get higher yield.<br />

Different age of seedling (14 days old seedling raised in pro tray, 21 days old seedling raised in<br />

pro tray, 28 days old seedling raised in pro tray) and = Foliar spray of nutrients (DAP, Pulse<br />

wonder, polyfed and KNO 3) were plating the seedling at the same time of all age of seedling<br />

sprayed as individual and in combination at flowering stages. Planting 21 days old seedling (M 3)<br />

during both seasons increased nutrient uptake observed number of flower drops reduced. Foliar<br />

application of polyfed (one per cent) and multi K (one per cent) (S 4) foliar spray during both<br />

seasons increased growth attributes followed by polyfed foliar spray (one per cent) which was on<br />

par with DAP (two per cent) spray treatment.<br />
