| dc.description.abstract | A field experiment was carried out to study the production potential of finger millet cultivars under different nitrogen levels in rainfed condition" during kharif 2000 at Birsa Agricultural University Farm, Ranchi. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Treatment consisted of six finger millet cultivars (A404, PR202, HR374, BM2, JBT2 and BAU2) with three nitrogen levels (20, 40 and 60 kg N ha¹). The experimental soil was representative sandy loam in texture and acidic in reaction with low in organic carbon, available nitrogen, medium in available phosphorus and potassium. Among finger millet cultivars A404 and PR202 (long) duration) performed better growth, higher number of tillers plant and metre row length, higher gain weight ear and test weight, maximum mean grain yield (17.03 q ha¹) and net return (Rs.4428.2 ha¹) with higher benefit cost ratio (0.84) in comparison to cultivar HR374 and BM2 (medium) and JBT2 and BAU2 (short duration). Grain yield of long duration cultivars was increased by 9.4 and 17.7% as compared to medium and short duration, respectively. Application of 60 kg N ha ha' produced taller plant, higher yield attributes (tillers plant', grains ear¹ and test weight) maximum grain yield (18.90, q ha¹) and net return (Rs.4720, ha¹) with higher benefit: cost ratio (0.83) which was closer to 40 kg N ha". | |
