Enhancement of Flowering in Pigeon Pea

Farm Questions
1

Dear All,

We have 2 acer’s of pigeon pea under cultivation (3.5 months old). My Farmer partner asked me to get a powder, which enhances the flowering in pigeon pea. Does any one have any idea what its called ? is it organic/inorganic ? Is it harmful to the soil ?

Thanks in advance for the help
