Abstract :

The field experiment was carried out at Instructional Farm, The Neotia University, West Bengal to study  he effect of spatial nutrient dose on the growth and yield of Finger millet varieties in Coastal part of West Bengal during kharif (rainy) season of 2024. The soil of the experimental field was fine in texture and clayey in nature, having 349 kg ha-1 available N, 26.80 kg ha-1 available P, 455 kg ha-1 exchangeable K. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design with 3 replications having three finger millet varieties, viz.,
V1: Sri Chaitanya (VR-847), V2: VL Mandua 352 and V3: Indravathi, respectively considered as main-plot, while, four nutrient dose viz. N0: Control (no nutrient application), N1: 20:10:10 kg N-P2O5-K2O ha-1, N2- 40:20:20 kg N-P2O5-K2O ha-1 and N3- 60:30:30 kg N-P2O5-K2O ha-1, respectively were considered as sub-plot treatment of the experiment. The results showed that highest grain yield (11.98 q ha-1) and straw yield (30.19 q ha-1) were recorded by V2 i.e., VL Mandua 352 and V3 i.e., Indravathi, respectively. Application of 60:30:30 kg N-P2O5-K2O ha-1 i.e. recorded highest values of most of the growth attributes, yield attributes and grain yield (16.36 q ha-1) of finger millet.

Highlights

  • The nutrient dose of 60:30:30 kg N-P2O5-K2O ha-1 registered the highest grain and straw yield of finger millet as noted in growth and yield attributes.
  • Finger millet varieties did not show any significant difference in grain and straw yields; however, marginally higher grain and straw yield were recorded by VL Mandua 352 and Indravathi respectively.
