The Variety GPU-28 was transplanted at the spacing of 30 × 10 cm under Surahonne based agroforestry system. The experiment comprised of seven treatments with three replications laid out in RCBD. The results revealed that significantly higher finger millet grain and straw yield (2792 and 5164 kg ha-1, respectively) was recorded with application of 75% N equivalent through neem cake + 25% through RDF + 2% 19:19:19 water soluble foliar spray. The higher yield of finger millet was attributed to higher number of tillers (5.30 plant-1), total dry matter (35.52 g plant-1), ear length (6.98 cm) and 1000 grain weight (3.68 g). It was on par with application of 75% N equivalent through pongamia cake + 25% through RDF + 2% water soluble 19:19:19 foliar spray (2606 and 5052 kg ha-1, respectively) and recommended package of practice (100:50:50) N, P2O5, K2O ha-1 + FYM @ 10 t ha-1 (2504 and 4973 kg ha-1, respectively). Lower grain and straw yield (1888 and 3549 kg ha-1, respectively) of finger millet was recorded with application of 25% N Equivalent through pongamia cake + 75% through RDF + 2% water soluble 19:19:19. Whereas, the higher net returns (Rs. 53244) and B:C ratio (2.8) of finger millet cultivation under Surahonne based agroforestry system recorded significantly with application of recommended package of practice (100:50:50) N, P2O5, K2O ha-1 + FYM @ 10 t ha-1EnglishThesis
