Abstract
An experiment was conducted at the Rice Research Station, Pattambi during the Kharif season of 1979“30 to study the effect of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium on growth, yield and quality of ragi (Elausine coraoana Gaertn.), Three levels each of nitrogen (30, 60 and 90 kg/ha), phosphorus (20, 40 end 60 kg K2O/ha) and potash (20, 40 and 60 kg K^O/ha) have been tried. The trial was laid out as partially confounded factorial experiment with two replications.
The study revealed that nitrogen had significant influence on plant height, number of tillers, functional leaves at flowering and dry matter both at flowering and harvest. Phosphorus influenced the productIon of tillers and dry matter at harvest. Potash significantly increased the plant height on 71at day after planting and at harvest Potash did not evoke any response on any other growth character at any stage.
