| dc.description.abstract | Title: “Influence of sowing windows on performance of finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.) varieties” The current study was conducted during the Kharif season of 2022-23 at B-Block, College of Forestry, Ranichauri, V.C.S.G. Uttarakhand University of Horticulture and Forestry, Tehri Garhwal, Uttarakhand. To study the influence of sowing windows on the performance of finger millet under field conditions with three sowing dates viz. D1 (01.06.2022), D2 (10.06.2022) and D3 (21.06.2022) and three varieties of finger millet viz. V1 (VLM 324), V2 (PRM 2) and V3 (VLM 347). The field experiment was laid out in a factorial randomized block design and the laboratory experiment was performed under completely randomized block design at the Laboratory of Seed Science & Technology, Department of Seed Science & Technology. Three replications were taken in both field and lab experiments. Observations were recorded for growth, yield and seed quality parameters. The results revealed that the characters viz. plant height (cm), root length (cm), number of leaves, dry matter accumulation (g) (root, stem, leaves and earhead), root shoot ratio, number of fingers/plant, number of tillers/plant, finger length (cm), earhead length (cm), grain yield (kg/ha), yield per plant (g), 1000 seed weight (g), straw yield (kg/ha) and biological yield (kg/ha) were significantly influenced by various treatments. Among the three sowing dates, D3 (21.06.2022) performed superior while among varieties V2 (PRM 2) performed excellent in growth, yield attributes and grain yield. Seed quality parameters viz. seed colour, seed diameter (mm), tetrazolium chloride test (viability), seed electrical conductivity (EC), standard germination test, cold test and accelerated ageing test reported superior results under variety V1 (VLM 324) at D3 (21.06.2022). In terms of estimation of crude protein (%), nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content in the seeds, the variety V2 (PRM 2) excelled at D3 (21.06.2022). From the study, it could be concluded that the third sowing date (21.06.2022) in combination with PRM 2 variety is suitable for hilly regions of the Garhwal Himalayas. | |
