Field experiments were conducted at National Pulses Research Centre. Vamban to study the ratooning ability of redgram (cv. Vamban 2) with fertilizer levels under irrigated condition. The treatments included population dynamics viz., 60x30cm, 90x30cm, 120x30cm and 150x30cm. Different pruning height at 30,50,70cm and cutting only secondary branches and fertilizer levels viz., FRD (25:50:20:20: NPKS/ha), FRD + 25% more of the recommended dose and FRD + 50% more of the recommended dose. The results revealed that adopting a spacing of 120x30 cm recorded the yield of 933 kg/ha followed by 90x30cm, 60x30cm and 150x30cm. Among the pruning height and fertilizer levels, cutting secondary branches only, 50% more of recommended dose of fertilizers found to be superior and recorded an yield of 726 and 933 kg/ha 2015 and 2016 respectively.
