Abstract: The field experiment of the present study was conducted at the farm of BTC College of Agriculture And Research Station, Bilaspur, under Agronomy Department, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (C.G.) in years 2019-20 and 2020-21. The experiment was conducted in split plot design in kharif crop and split-split design in rabi ratoon crop with 03 replications. Nine treatments were allocatedin main kharif crop and 36 treatments were allocated in ratoon crop. There were two factors taken in main crop i.e. Main plot: planting geometry (P) and Sub-plot: nutrient management (N) whereas, three factors for ratoon crop i.e. Main plot: planting geometry (P), Sub-plot: nutrient management (N) and Sub-sub-plot: cutting management and foliar spray (CF). Among the different planting geometry in kharif pigeonpea, Significane the highest gross return, net returns and benefit: cost was found under P1 (60 cm x 15 cm), while the lowest economics were found under P3 (120 cm x15 cm). Among different nutrient management practices, significantly the highest gross return was found under N3 (125% of RDF) which remained at par with N2 (100% of RDF) during both the years and in mean respectively. However other economic parameters like net returns and B:C ratio were found non- significant among the treatments. Numerically, higher net returns and benefit: cost were found under N3 (125% of RDF).
