Background: Foxtail millet crop has interesting characteristic features i.e., fairly tolerant to drought, and can escape terminal drought because of early maturity. Foxtail millet is comparable to that of super cereals like rice and wheat due to its capacity to withstand drought, adaptable to adverse climatic condition and input management. Objectives: Effect of nitrogen and zinc on yield attributes and economics of foxtail millet. Methods: With the goal of studying the effect of nitrogen and zinc on yield and economics of foxtail millet (Setaria italica) One variety of Foxtail millet i.e., DHFt 109-3 was used with different doses of Nitrogen at 40, 50, 60 kg/ha and Zinc at 10, 15, 20 kg/ha was used. There were 9 treatments each replicated thrice. The result showed that the yield parameters viz, length of Ear (21.19 cm), seed yield (2.11 t/ha), test weight (3.36 g) straw yield (5.48 t/ha), gross return (73,850.00 INR/ha), net return (51,508.00 INR/ha), B:C ratio (2.30) were recorded superior with application of nitrogen at 60 kg/ha along with zinc 20 kg/ha. Conclusion: Maximum Gross returns (73,850.00 INR/ha), Net return (51,508.00 INR/ha), B:C ratio (2.30) was obtained with application of 60 N kg/ha + 20 kg Zn/ha.
The experiment was conducted during Zaid season 2021 at KVK, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P.) to study the influence of potassium and sulphur on growth and yield of greengram. The treatments consist of potassium 15, 25, 35 kg/ha and sulphur 10, 20, 30 kg/ha. The result reported that application of potassium 35 kg/ha + sulphur 30 kg/ha (Treatment 9) recorded significantly highest Plant height (45.77 cm), maximum number of branches (6.50), maximum number of nodules (21.73), maximum plant dry weight (9.66 g). It is also observed that the maximum grain yield (1,109.67 kg/ha) and stover yield (2,431.00 kg/ha) was obtained with the application of potassium 35 kg/ha along with sulphur 30 kg/ha. It was concluded that application of potassium and sulphur performs positively and improves growth and yield parameters of Greengram.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
