Weed management in urdbean Application of Pendimethalin 30 EC @ 1.0 kg/ha followed by Quizalofop Ethyl @ 50 g/ha on 15-20 DAS produced significantly higher yield (1950 kg/ha) than other treatments
Effect of best management practices Timely sowing of BidhanKalai and PU 31 produced higher yield than late sowings of the same.
Effect of land configuration and weed management on urdbean productivity Land configuration had significant effect on grain yield. Post emergence application of Imazethapyr 10 % SL @ 55 g/ha significantly improved productivity of urdbean (1800 kg/ha) compared to other treatments.
    Entomology Studies on insect-pest scenario with associated natural enemies of mungbean and urdbean Spotted pod borer, gram pod borer, blue butterfly, pod bug, plant bug and cowpea aphid are the major insect pests infesting mungbean var. IPM 99-125, though whitefly causes serious damage during vegetative stage of the crop only.
No insect pests have been recorded as major pests of urdbean var. PU 31, however, gram pod borer and whitefly cause moderate damage.
2015-16 Rabi Plant Breeding Lentil IVT(Small seed) VL 151 produced significantly higher yield (1654 kg/ha) than other germplasms. Apart from VL 151, six more entries (VL 150, LL 1370, IPL 231, LL 1397, L 4751 and HUL 57) yielded above 1000 kg/ha.
Field pea AVT1(Tall) IPF 14-13 yielded highest (1642 kg/ha) among all the germplasms.
Field pea IVT(Tall) Only two germplasms (IPF 15-21 and RFP 2011-3) yielded above 2000 kg/ ha and no significant difference was observed between them. Yield of four entries ranged from 1000 to 2000 kg/ha.

Lathyrus AVT-1 All the germplasms yielded above 1000 kg/ha. The entry BK 14-1 was from BCKV. It recorded significantly higher yield (1796 kg/ha) than other entries, matured within 117 days and may be e good fit in the rice-fallow cropping system.
Agronomy Integrated crop management in lentil Integrated application of nutrient, weed and pest management increased lentil yield by almost 10.0 % over control.
Enhancing nutrient and water use efficiency of lentil through hydrogel under rainfed/limited irrigated situation Drilling of hydrogel @2.5 kg/ha in the soil, significantly increased yield (780 kg/ha) than other treatments than other treatments by improving the agronomic and water use efficiencies of lentil. Among different levels of foliar nutrition, foliar application of 0.5 % NPK (19:19:19) at flower initiation and pod development stage yielded highest (820 kg/ha) with maximum agronomic and water use efficiencies.
Effect of varieties, seed rates and nutrition schedule on lentil productivity under different duration rice variety relay cropping In case of relay cropping after long duration rice (MTU 7029), PL 16 sown with the seed rate of 60 kg/ha yielded the highest (1447 kg/ha) and it was statistically at par with the productivity of WBL 77 (1345 kg/ha) sown with the same seed rate.
In relay cropping after medium duration rice (IET 4786), no significant yield difference was observed when NDL 1 was sown with the seed rates of 60 kg/ha and 50 kg/ha, and WBL 77 with seed rate of 50 kg/ha.
Among several varietal and nutrient combinations, growing WBL 77 as relay crop after rice variety MTU 7029 with the basal dose of 20:40:40 Kg/ha of N:P2O5:K2O and foliar nutrition of 2 % urea at 45 and 65 DAS recorded highest yield (1604 kg/ha).
Amongst the lentil varieties, NDL1 is best suited as relay crop irrespective of varying duration of monsoon rice varieties.
Entomology Estimation of crop losses against the insect pests of lentil During the course of trial at vegetative stage of the crop pulse aphid has been recorded and the plots were sprayed with Imidacloprid 17.8 SL @ 0.3 ml/l of water (for Treatment 1 and Treatment 3). The insecticide significantly reduced the aphid population upto 100% and the yield was more in respect to the control.
Development of forecasting module against major pests of the locality (Lentil) The correlation studies revealed that all the meteorological parameters taken into consideration had negative relation with the aphid population, amongst which only minimum temperature was significantly correlated with the pest population.
2016 Kharif Plant Breeding Mungbean IVT MH 1142 recorded the highest yield (1917 kg/ha) however, it was statistically at par with the check variety (1909 kg/ha). Six germplasms yielded between 1700 and 1900 kg/ha.
Urdbean IVT TJU 24 yielded the highest (1984 kg/ha) however, no significant yield difference was observed between TJU 24, VBG 12-034, VBG 12-111, IPU 13-3, NDUK 15-222, and KPU 12-213.

Effect of land configuration and weed management on mungbean productivity In comparison to flatbed method, ridge bed method significantly increased mungbean productivity through effective weed control. Pre-emergence application of Pendimethalin 30 EC @ 1.0 kg/ha followed by post emergence application of Imazethapyr 10 % SL @ 55 g/ha at 15 DAS recorded highest weed control efficiency and significantly higher yield than other treatments.
Herbicidal weed management in urdbean and its carry over effect on succeeding rabi crops Although two hand weedings at 15 and 35 DAS recorded the highest yield (1510 kg/ha), no significant yield difference was observed between hand weedings and application of Clodinafoppropargyl 8% + Acifluorfen sodium 16.5 % @ 125 g/ha at 15 DAS.
Effect of land configuration and weed management on urdbean productivity Ridge bed method recorded significantly higher urdbean yield than flatbed method through effective weed control. Pre-emergence application of Pendimthalin 30 EC @ 1.0 kg/ha followed by post emergence application of Imazethapyr 10 % SL @ 55 g/ha at 15 DAS recorded the highest weed control efficiency and yield.
Entomology Evaluation of newer insecticides against sucking pests of mungbean/ urdbean The most effective treatment was Diafenthiuron 50 WP @ 312.5 g a.i./ha against all the sucking pests viz. whitefly, Riptortus and thrips infesting mungbean var. IPM 99-125. The second best treatment for managing Riptortus and thrips was Spiromesifen 240 SC @ 150.0 g a.i./ha, whereas, for controlling whitefly, the second best treatment was Diafenthiuron 50 WP @ 250.0 g a.i./ha.
Development of IPM modules for management of whitefly, Bemisiatabaci on mungbean and urdbean The experimental results revealed that after second spray with Diafenthiuron 50 WP @ 312.5 g a.i./ ha mean whitefly population was recorded lower in Module-I (12.3/ 10 plants/ plot) than in Module-II (50.4/ 10 plants/ plot).
Studies on insect-pest scenario with associated natural enemies of mungbean and urdbean Among the insect pests, whiteflies were recorded on 21 days after sowing i.e. on 19.09.16 both in mungbean var. IPM 99-125 and urdbean var. Pant U 19. Population of whitefly remained upto 10.10.16 on both the crops. However, the peak was observed on 26.09.16 (18.2 adults / leaf in case of mungbean and 23.6 adults / leaf in case of urdbean). Population of Marucavitrata were recorded on mungbean from 17.10.16 till harvest whereas, on urdbean the population build up started from 24.10.16. This pest reached its peak on 31.10.16 in mungbean (4.4 larva / plant) and on 07.11.16 in urdbean (1.8 larva / plant).

Fieldpea IVT(Tall) Pant P 353 recorded highest yield of 1929 kg/ha however, it didn’t vary significantly from the productivities of IPF 16-18, RFP 2010-2, Pant P 355 and RFP 2010-2.
Fieldpea IVT(Dwarf) Although HFP 1307 yielded the highest (2546 kg/ha), it was statistically at par with Pant P 345 and HUDP 15. Three more entries (HFP 4, Pant P 340, and HFP 1302) recorded a yield above 2000 kg/ha.
Lathyrus AVT (2+1) BK 14-1 recorded significantly higher yield than other entries.
Agronomy Conservation agriculture practices for enhancing productivity of rice-lentil cropping system Reduced tillage along with rice residue retention significantly increased yield and improved the nutrient status of the soil.
Best management practices for yield maximization in lentil under rice fallow Hydropriming along with foliar nutrition of 0.5 % NPK (19:19:19) at pre flowering and pod initiation stages, and post emergence application of Quizalofop ethyl 5 EC at 25 DAS @60 g/ha significantly increased yield of lentil in rice fallow situation.
Best management practices for yield maximization in rice-utera lathyrus system Seed treatment with sodium molybdate (0.5 g/Kg of seed) coupled with spraying of 0.5 % NPK (19:19:19) at branching and pod initiation stages significantly increased utera lathyrus yield compared to other treatment combinations.
Agronomic evaluation of AVT2 genotypes for higher productivity Seed rate had no significant influence on lathyrus yield. Among the entries, BK 14-1 recorded significantly higher yield (2089 kg/ha) than other entries.
Entomology Field evaluation of germplasm against major insect pests of fieldpea Forty eight germplasms of fieldpea including one local check (Rachna) were evaluated against pod borer (Helicoverpaarmigera). The mean pod damage ranged from 0.2 – 18.4%. Entries e.g. RFP 11-2, RFP 2011-3, IPF 16-13 with less pod damage (less than 1.0%) were found most promising, while; the highest pod damage was recorded in HFP 4.
Evaluation of newer insecticides against pod borer complex Rynaxypyr @ 25.0 g a.i./ha was found most effective both in terms of reduction in pod borer population and pod damage followed by the treatment comprising Indoxacarb @ 60.0 g a.i./ha. Highest production was also obtained from Rynaxypyr(1370.37 kg/ha) followed by Indoxacarb(1111.11 kg/ha).
Estimation of crop losses against the insect pests of field pea The spraying with Indoxacarb 14.5 SC @ 50 g a.i./ha (for Treatment 2 and Treatment 3) at reproductive stage of the crop resulted the highest yield in T3 (1125.00 kg/ ha) followed by in T2 (1027.78 kg/ ha).
Development and testing of IPM module against major pests of fieldpea of locality Pod borer damage varied from 3.38 to 8.64 per cent in IPM plots, while in non-IPM, pod borer damage was recorded 31.02 per cent. By adopting IPM practices maximum 39.44% increase in yield over farmers’ practices (IPM Module 2) was recorded followed by in IPM Module 3, where the increase in yield was 38.03% over non-IPM.
Development of forecasting module against major pests of the locality The correlation studies revealed that among the meteorological parameters taken into consideration, both the temperatures had significant positive correlation with the pod borer population, while, maximum relative humidity had significant negative correlation with the pest population.
Field evaluation of germplasm against major insect pests of lentil The mean aphid population (per 10 cm top shoot) varied from 0.0 to 18.2. Entries e.g. LL 1397, IPL 230, NDL 2016-15 with no incidence of aphid were found most promising, while; the highest population of aphid was recorded in IPL 332.
Estimation of crop losses against the insect pests of lentil The spraying with Thiamethoxam 25 WG @ 0.2 g/l of water (for Treatment 1 and Treatment 3) at vegetative stage of the crop resulted the highest reduction in aphid population in T3 (98.99%) followed by in T1 (97.83%),
Integrated Pest Management of Major Pests of Lentil Aphid population varied from 4.6 to 5.8 per 10 cm top shoot in IPM plots, while in non-IPM, aphid population was recorded 29.4 per 10 cm top shoot. By adopting IPM practices maximum 25.91% increase in yield over farmers’ practices (IPM Module 2) was recorded.
Development of forecasting module against major pests of the locality The correlation studies revealed that all the meteorological parameters taken into consideration had negative correlation with the aphid population, amongst which only minimum temperature was significantly correlated with the pest population.
2017 Spring/ Summer Agronomy Efficacy of post emergence herbicide to manage weeds for higher productivity of spring/summer mungbean/spring urdbean Although hand weeding recorded the highest mungbean yield (1191 kg/ha), no significant yield difference was observed between all the herbicidal control measures and hand weeding.
Hand weeding sinficantly improved urdbean productivity than herbicidal weed control measures. However, among the different herbicides, application of Propaquizafop 2.50 % + imazethapyr 3.75 % ME @ 2.0 l/ha) at 15 DAS was most effective in controlling weeds and increasing urdbean yield.
Effect of foliar nutrition on productivity of spring/summer mungbean and spring urdbean Foliar nutrition of mungbean with Salicylic acid @ 100 ppm at flower initiation and pod initiation yielded the highest. 100 ppm Salicylic acid, 2% KNO3, and 0.2 % KCl when applied at flower and pod initiation stages, showed no significant yield difference. Similar observations were made in urdbean.
Plant Breeding Spring Mungbean IVT IPM 512-1 yielded the highest (1985 kg/ha) followed by PM 11-9 and IPM 410-9.
Summer Mungbean IVT SML 1820 recorded significantly higher yield than other germplasms. SVM 6222 and GM 11-02 were the next best entries in terms of productivity.
Urdbean AVT 1 Among the five experimental entries, TU 44 recorded the highest yield of 1305 kg/ha.
Urdbean Spring IVT KPU 12-1735 recorded significantly higher yield (1413 kg/ha). Three more entries yielded above 1000 kg/ha.
    Entomology Population dynamics of major insect pests infesting Mungbean and Urdbean: Spring/Summer seasons Maximum aphid (47.3 per plant) and thrips population (22.4 per 10 flowers) was recorded at 6 WAS in late sown mungbean var. Samrat whereas pod borer reached its peak (5.7 per plant) at 9 WAS in late sown crop also.
Maximum thrips population (24.5 per 10 flowers) was recorded at 9 WAS (02.05.17) in early sown urdbean var. PU 31 whereas pod borer reached its peak (3.8 per plant) at 10 WAS (29.05.17) in late sown crop.
