Pigeonpea Apical Dominance is Controlled for Optimum Yield via Nipping and Planting Distance

Abstract Intensive growth of the pigeonpea crop in Central and South India, caused by adequate rainfall, resulted in taller plants with fewer fruited branches, leading to lower yields. However, pigeonpea crops could produce more pods if they restricted apical growth. Nipping (Cutting off the top gro...
