The experiment was conducted at ICAR Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Perambalur during summer season of 2024-25 to study the effect of foliar nutrition on the productivity of Greegram. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design and replicated thrice with eight treatments comprising of T1- Control + T2- Foliar spray of Urea 1% + T3- Foliar spray of KCl 2% + T4-Foliar spray of Pulse wonder @ 2 kg ac-1 + T5- Foliar spray of Panchakavya 5% + T6- Foliar spray of Cow urine 5% + T7- Foliar spray of DAP 2% + T8–Foliarspray of NAA 50 ppm. The highest growth parameters, plant height, number of branches per plant, leaf Area Index and dry matter production (g/plant-1) were recorded with the foliar application of TNAU Pulse wonder @ 2 kg ac-1. The same treatment had significantly recorded higher grain yield of 844.20 kg ha-1. It was followed by the application Panchakavya 5% registered 837.00 kg ha-1. From the above results, it has been concluded that foliar spray of TNAU Pulse wonder @ 2 kg ac-1 to enhance the productivity and higher profitability in Greegram.
