Abstract
A field experiment was conducted at the College Agronomy Farm, B. A.
College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand (Gujarat) entitled
“Response of semi rabi pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) to sowing time, spacing
and sowing method” during semi rabi season of the years 2016-17 and 2017-18. The
soil of the experimental site was loamy sand, locally known as “Goradu” soil. The
Goradu soil is of alluvial in origin and belongs to the Entisols. The soils of the
experimental site was free from any kind of salinity or sodicity hazards, low in
organic carbon and nitrogen, high in available phosphorus and potassium. There were
18 treatment combinations comprising of three levels, each of sowing times (30th
August, 10th and 20th September) and spacing (30, 45 and 60 cm) and two levels of
sowing methods (drilling and transplanting (Seeding in the nursery at the same date
