A field experiment was conducted during rainy seasons of 2001- 02 and 2002-03 at Banaras Hindu University to study the response of nutrient and weed management practices on pigeonpea under ridge-furrow system of planting. Pods/plant, 100-seed weight and grain and stalk yields of pigeonpea significantly enhanced by 100% RDF broadcasted before ridge formation. Pre-emergence application of pendimethalin + one hand weeding (30 days after sowing) produced significantly higher yield attributes and yield over weedy check, pendimethalin and at par with one hand weeding, Broadcast of 100% RDF before ridge formation also increased NPK content and its uptake in pigeonpea grains
