“…The effect of pinching might be due to cell division in meristematic region which leads to production of large number of healthy branches and flowers results in increased seed yield (Irwin and Aarssen, 1996). Similar results were observed in broccoli (Ghimire et al, 1993;El-Yazied et al, 2007), spinach (Waseem et al, 2000;Bharad et al, 2013), okra (Sajjan et al, 2002), chick pea (Baloch and Zubair, 2010), fenugreek (Vasudevan et al, 2010;Krishnaveni et al, 2016) and daincha (Nayak et al, 2017). Any change in the proportion of shoot and root growth was affected the crop growth (Arkin and Taylor, 1981).…”

Lamb's quarters (Chenopodium album L.) is a minor leafy vegetable has rich of minerals, vitamins, flavonoids etc. in which, the studies on establishment methods, spacing and pinching showed significant differences in plant growth, flowering habit and seed yield. In this regard, the direct sowing of seeds had greater effect on plant height (129.2 cm) and seed yield (2092 kg ha-1) compared to transplanting of seedlings. Among different spacings, wider spacing (60 x 45 cm) recorded the highest plant height (127.9 cm), more number of primary (15) & secondary branches (111), maximum inflorescence length (23.2) and maximum seed yield plant-1 (32.9 g) compared to other spacings. However, closer spacing (30 x 15 cm) has recorded maximum seed yield ha-1 (2337 kg) because of more population. Also, pinching on 30 days after sowing (DAS) has showed highest number of secondary branches (94.5) and seed yield plant-1 (27.4 g) compared to pinching on 40 DAS and without pinching. Nevertheless, these results indicate that the direct sowing with closer placing (30 x 15 cm) and pinching on 30 DAS were found to be more suitable for earning higher seed yield in lamb's quarters.

“…stated that different date of sowing, different spacing and nipping significantly influenced the yield and dry matter accumulation in chickpea and the results of the experiment indicated that the third week of November sowing with nipping at 40 DAS recorded higher number of branches plant -1 (34.96), dry matter accumulation plant -1 (40.18), number of root nodules plant -1 (45.93), dry weight of the nodules plant -1 (0.72 g) and leaf are index (4.86) compare to all other treatments. Pinching and foliar spraying of micronutrient mixture (ZnSO 4 0.5% + Boric acid 0.3%) in chickpea considerably increased the number of pods plant -1 and seed yield ha -1 (Nayak et al, 2017). Reddy (1997) stated that higher pod yield in chickpea was recorded over control due to nipping at terminal and lateral branches at 60 days after sowing.…”

Pulses are an important protein source for vegetarian people across the world and they have a great potential to improve the human health, contribute to global food and nutritional security. Variety of pulses were grown in India with 25% of global production and 27% of global consumption. Though India is the largest pulses producer in the world, it imports around 3.5 million tons annually to meet the ever-increasing requirement. Less adoption of improved Agro techniques, low fertile soils and unpredictable environment conditions are major factor for low production of pulses. As a results of increasing population, the projected pulses requirement will be 32 million tons by 2030 which necessitate annual growth rate of 4.2%. With adoption of suitable agronomic strategies, the productivity has to be enhanced to meet the demand. This review work was done at Department of Agronomy, Agricultural College and Research Institute, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. Collected review and research papers were screened from various data base like TNAU e library, ARCC journals, google scholar, research gate and scopus used to write this paper. This review article documented information gathered on importance of pulses, area, production and productivity of pulses. Nipping is important agronomic practices that removes the apical bud dominance and promotes the lateral growth which turn better maintenance of source and sink relationship and enhance the pulses yield. Influence of nipping on growth and yield of various pluses crops has been discussed here.
