Abstract :

The seeds of greengram cv.CO 6 were given existing hardening and the newer seed management techniques (designer seed) with a macro and micronutrients along with different foliar spray application and on the productivity under irrigated eco–system. Among the different treatments tried, designer seed(Hardening with MgSO4 100 ppm + Polymer 3ml/kg + Carbendazim 2g/kg + Imidacloprid 1ml/kg) NPK + 25:50:0 kg/ha + 0.01% Brassinolide spray on 35th and 45th DAS excelled others in number of pod–1,pod yield and seed yield compared to control. The seed yield ha–1 in the best treatment was 690 kg ha–1 which was 19.2 % increase over the control and 14.5% increase over existing recommendation of designer seed + NPK 25:50:0 kg/ha + Foliar spray (Urea 10 kg, DAP 2.6 kg, MOP 1.75 kg, Potassium Sulphate 1.4 kg, Succinic Acid 40 g, Teepol 120 ml ( per ha)) on 35th and 45th DAS.
