“…Previous research (Mahdipour-Afra et al, 2021;Honnaiah et al, 2021) showed that when late sowing and higher plant density were used together, plant height decreased by a large amount. Early-sown plants appear to have more time to absorb soil moisture and nutrients, ensure proper plant growth, use radiation more efficiently, and develop more photosynthesis than latesown plants, according to the findings of the majority of the researchers who investigated this phenomenon (Mahdipour-Afra et al, 2021;Hussain et al, 2022). When comparing May sowing to June sowing, early sowing dates produce the greatest plant height, and Gresta et al (2013) found similar results.The findings of Khalil et al (2010) and Honnaiah et al (2021) demonstrated that delayed sowing results in a reduction in plant height.…”

A N experiment conducted on the guar crop had three main objectives. Choosing the ideal time to sow, determining the appropriate plant density, and examining the effects of various planting dates and plant densities on the yield and yield-related factors of various guar varieties. The field experiment was conducted at the Agricultural Research Station in Bahawalpur in 2019 and 2020. Two guar genotypes (BR-2017 and S-6384) were used in a splitsplit plot design with three replications to evaluate the three plant densities (D1: 15, D2: 25, and D3: 40 plants/m 2 ) and six planting dates (from 1 st May to 15 th July).The results showed that the early sowing dates (1 st May to 1 st June) improved the plant height, pod length, clusters per plant, number of pods per cluster, grain per pod, and seed yield. The late planting dates (15 th June to 15 th July) produced the lowest values of these attributes. The results showed that the yield was not affected by the plant density, but other morphological traits were varied. The study found a significant difference in the yield between the two guar varieties at all the sowing times and plant densities tested. In 2019, BR-2017 had the best yield, and S-6384 had the best yield in 2020.It is concluded that farmers in Pakistan should sow their guar crop between the 1 st of May to the 1 st of June. It is important to note that plant density has a marginal effect on yield. In two years, both guar genotypes performed admirably.

“…On the other hand, the plant height of both these crops under brackish water irrigation starting to increase very slowly after 800 • C and significantly differs from freshwater irrigation. Cluster bean plant height increment becomes constant from 800 to 1100 • C. Maybe plants are under stress due to brackish water irrigation [51] and higher temperatures [12], as shown in Figure 2A. Cluster bean has maximum plant height under fresh and brackish water irrigation when GDDs are 1600 • C and 1500 • C. Sesbania has maximum plant height under fresh and brackish water irrigation when the GDD is 1500 • C. According to the PH results, the GDD has an important practical significance on the growth of both these crops [32].…”

“…and Cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.) are rapidly growing annual shrubs in the arid and semi-arid regions of Pakistan and India [10]. Almost 80% of Cluster beans and Sesbania were grown in India and Pakistan in the rain-fed periods because of their drought, salinity, and high-temperature tolerance ability [11,12]. Cluster bean and Sesbania are both grown as green manuring crops in different parts of the world because these crops help to enhance soil fertility [13,14].…”

Plant height (PH) plays a crucial role in determining per-plant growth and biomass production. Various characteristics of PH, along with the formulation of mathematical growth models, can provide a theoretical yield or biomass production based on water quality, fruit quality, and yields. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between PH and biomass per-plant production of two fodder crops (Cluster bean and Sesbania) under different water quality irrigation parameters in the Thar desert of Pakistan. Universal models of PH were established in which growing degree days (GDDs) and different water quality irrigation techniques have been applied as independent variables to calculate the maximum plant height of both of these crops. For this purpose, the logistic growth model, Gaussian growth model, modified Gaussian growth model, and Cubic polynomial growth model were used. Furthermore, universal biomass per plant production models have been developed for both crops, between biomass per plant, GDDs, and PH. However, among all these developed models, the modified Gaussian and Cubic polynomial growth models produced the best results. The Cubic polynomial model has meaningless parameters that make the model not very accurate, so the modified Gaussian growth model is the best among all models. Furthermore, the relationship between biomass per plant and different water qualities was established using Michaelis–Menten equations for both crops. It was observed that an increase in salt concentration within the water quality led to a decline in biomass per plant, indicating a negative linear relationship between these factors. The growth of Cluster bean and Sesbania ceased when the electrical conductivity (EC) reached or exceeded 12.34 ds/m and 11.51 ds/m, respectively. Furthermore, the results show that Cluster bean and Sesbania have the maximum plant height under brackish water irrigation when the GDD is at 1500 °C, while in freshwater irrigation, the maximum plant height of Sesbania and Cluster bean was observed when the GDD is at 1444 °C and 1600 °C. It was concluded that these developed mathematical models can provide crucial insights for enhancing production in desert conditions by improving water use efficiency across diverse irrigation water qualities.

A field experiment was conducted during Zaid 2023 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P), India. The soil of the experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.1), low in organic carbon (0.36 %), available N (171.48 kg/ha), available P (15.2 kg/ha) and available K (232.5 kg/ha). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments each replicated thrice based on one year of experimentation. The treatments which are T1: Sulphur at 20 kg/ha + GA3 at 50 ppm, T2: Sulphur at 20 kg/ha + GA3 at 100 ppm, T3: Sulphur at 20 kg/ha + GA3 at 150 ppm, T4: Sulphur at 30 kg/ha + GA3 at 50 ppm, T5: Sulphur at 30 kg/ha + GA3 at 100 ppm, T6: Sulphur at 30 kg/ha + GA3 at 150 ppm, T7: Sulphur at 40 kg/ha + GA3 at 50 ppm, T8: Sulphur at 40 kg/ha + GA3 at 100 ppm, T9: Sulphur at 40 kg/ha + GA3 at 150 ppm, T10: Control (RDF) 20:40:20 kg NPK/ha are used. The application of Sulphur at 40 kg/ha + GA3 at 150 ppm, recorded significantly higher Plant height (109.00 cm), number of nodules per plant (50.60) Plant dry weight (52.02 g/plant). Significantly maximum pods/plant (42.33), Seeds/pod (13.00), Seed index (33.47 g), Seed yield (1.79 t/ha), stover yield (3.59 t/ha), Harvest index (33.28 %) were recorded with the treatment of Sulphur at 40 kg/ha + GA3 at 150 ppm. Higher gross returns (Rs. 1,25,237.00 /ha), net return (Rs. 80,487.00 /ha) and benefit-cost ratio (1.80) were obtained in the treatment of Sulphur at 40 kg/ha + GA3 at 150 ppm.
