Nutrient Management Practices on Growth and Yield of Finger Millet Influcened by Different Factors

A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2022-23 in field no new plot 1 at South farm of Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences, Coimbatore. This study was conducted to assess the growth and yield of finger millet using nutrient management practices. The treatment consists of seven different parameters with control. Results revealed that growth parameters, yield attributes, yield of finger millet were significantly influenced by different treatments of nutrient management. In finger millet, plant height at 90 DAS, LAI at 60 DAS and dry matter accumulation per m2 at harvest were maximum with 125% seed rate and 100% N through vermicompost. Yield attributes namely, effective tillers per m2, number of fingers per ear, ear weight, test weight, number of grains per ear, grain yield and straw yield of finger millet were also recorded maximum in the same treatment.
