The present investigation entitled "Evaluation of soil physico-Chemical properties, growth and yield of pigenonpea as influenced by method of planting and integrated nutrient management in vertisols of Karnataka" was conducted at farmer's fieldi i.e. in three location of the same village Kasbe camp, District: Raichur (Karnataka)under the project of Bhoo Samruddhi, ICRISAT (International Crop Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics Agriculture), Patancheru,Hyderabad during kharif season 2016. The soil of the experiment plots was clayey. Low available nitrogen in all the three farmers plot phosphorus washigh in two plots except one plot, while potassium was high in all plots. Theexperiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design (FRBD) with threereplications comprising ten treatment combination. Treatment combinationconsisting of two factor, factor-1 at two levels viz., methods of planting (dibblingand transplanting), and factor-2 at five levels viz., N1-control (Farmers practice) N2-FYM @ 5 t ha-1, N3-vermicompost @ 5 t ha-1, N4-neem cake @ 250 kg ha-1, N5-green leaf manure (Gliricidia) @ 5 t ha-1. Sowing was done on July 14, 2016harvesting was done on January 28, 2017.The transplanted pigeonpea (M2) recorded the maximum growthparameters viz., plant height, number of leaves, number of primary and secondarybranches plant-1, leaf area plant-1, leaf area index, total dry matter plant-1 as well asyield and yield attributing characters viz., number of pods plant-1, weight of podsplant-1, seed yield plant-1, grain yield ha-1, stalk yield ha-1 and quality attributes ofpigeonpea crop viz., protein yield ha-1. The nutrient content and uptake by seed andstalk, N in seed, content of P, K, and S in seed and stalk were found higher. In caseof micronutrients Fe and Cu in seed, B and Zn in stalk and Mn in both was recordedhigher nutrient content. Whereas concerned to uptake all the nutrients i.e. primary(N, P, K), secondary (Ca, Mg, S) and micronutrients (Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn and B) wererecorded higher uptake in the transplanted pigeonpea. However, there was no effecton physico-chemical properties due to the method of planting
