Abstract

A field experiment conducted in randomized block design with three replications during summer seasons of the years 2010 and 2011 revealed higher yield attributes and green pod yield (15.03 t ha−1) and straw yield (17.28 t ha−1) of clusterbean with irrigation at 100% CPE along with fertigation of 60 kg phosphorus and 60 kg potash ha−1. It also recorded higher net return (`102314 ha−1) and BCR (2.99) while, recommended 20–40 kg NP ha−1 through surface irrigation produced 9.33 t ha−1 pod and 10.73 t ha−1 straw yields and `56105 ha−1 net returns.
