A field experiment was carried out during the summer season of 2022–23 at ICAR–Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Perambalur, to evaluate the influence of foliar nutrition on the growth and yield of Bengalgram. The study was conducted using a Randomized Block Design with three replications and seven treatments, including T₁ – control (water spray); T₂ – KCl @ 2%; T₃ – Nano Urea @ 1%; T₄ – TNAU Pulse Wonder @ 2 kg ac⁻¹; T₅ – Panchagavya @ 5%; T₆ – NPK (19:19:19) @ 1%; and T7 – NAA @ 50 ppm. The results revealed that foliar application of TNAU Pulse Wonder @ 2 kg ac⁻¹ significantly improved growth parameters, including plant height, number of branches, leaf area index, and dry matter production. This treatment also recorded the highest grain yield (994.28 kg ha⁻¹), followed closely by panchagavya @ 5%. Enhanced performance under these treatments may be attributed to improved nutrient uptake and physiological efficiency. The study demonstrates that foliar nutrition, particularly with TNAU Pulse Wonder, can effectively enhance productivity and profitability of Bengalgram under field conditions.
