“…Intra row spacing had no significance effect on days to heading, days to maturity, number of tillers, number of effective tillers, panicle length, thousand seed weight and biomass yield for the year 2014 cropping season. The current result goes in line with (Anshul et al, 2017;Ullah et al, 2017) who found that different intra row spacing did not show significance difference on the parameters of number of tillers, number of effective tillers, plant height, thousand seed weight and panicle length on pearl millet whereas different intra row spacing had significant effect on the grain yield of pearl millet (Champion and Fuller, 2018;Chisi and Peterson, 2019).…”

“…As the conditions become drier, pearl millet is the only crop that is grown where normal rainfall does not permit the reliable production of sorghum (Jukanti et al, 2016). Production exceeds that of sorghum due to its draught-tolerant character and the reverse is the case as rainfall increases (Negi et al, 2017;Chisi and Peterson, 2019).…”

“…Pearl millet is a hardy warm-season, dry land cereal grain crop. It is largely grown in the drought-prone regions of Africa and Asia where it performs better than other cereals (Chisi and Peterson, 2019). In Ethiopia, one improved variety is released for production in the dry land areas of the country.…”

Recently in Ethiopia pearl millet has drawn a lot of attention as a replacement for maize and sorghum in the dry land areas because of its ability to reliably produce grains on a wide range of soils and harsh production environment. A field experiment was conducted during the 2014 cropping season on the Research sites of Abergele and Aybra, at Sekota dryland agricultural research Centre, eastern Amhara, Ethiopia, with the objective of to increase the productivity of pearl millet in the study areas of Wag-Himra Zone through optimizing its intra and inter-row spacing. The treatments considered in the study were consisting of four intra row spacing's (5, 10, 15 and 20 cm) and four inter-row spacing (30, 50, 60 and 75 cm) and making a total of sixteen treatments. The Randomized Complete Block Design factorial arrangement with three replications a plot size of 5m × 3m was used. Based on the Combined analysis main effects of inter and intra row spacing by location showed significance difference (p<0.05) for the parameters of grain yield. The heights grain yield was recorded from 50cm and 5cm inter and intra row spacing respectively, whereas the lowest grain yield was recorded from 60cm and 75cm with 20cm inter and intra row spacing respectively. It is possible to recommend that, sowing of pearl millet with inter row spacing of 50cm and 5cm intra row spacing is effective in attaining higher grain yield in the study area.

“…The experimental area was used for cultivating potatoes in the season before our experiment and the conventional procedure of deep ploughing was then performed [27,28]. The pH, carbonates content [29], grain-size distribution [30,31], concentrations of micronutrients [32], and Zn availability in soil were measured using DTPA extraction [33] before tillage (Table 1) and fertilizers were then applied manually.…”

“…The experimental foxtail millet was manually sown in lines with 20 mm sowing depth, 100 mm seeding distance, and 200 mm inter-row spacing, and the plots were pressed by roller [27]. The ZnO NPs were then suspended in a solution of adjuvant SILWET STAR ® before foliar application because this facilitates penetration of nanoparticles across wax sub-structures [34,35] and also used for control as a “blank” treatment lacking ZnO NPs.…”

Effect of Foliar Spray Application of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles on Quantitative, Nutritional, and Physiological Parameters of Foxtail Millet (Setaria italica L.) under Field Conditions

It has been shown that the foliar application of inorganic nano-materials on cereal plants during their growth cycle enhances the rate of plant productivity by providing a micro-nutrient source. We therefore studied the effects of foliarly applied ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) on Setaria italica L. foxtail millet’s quantitative, nutritional, and physiological parameters. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the ZnO NPs have an average particle size under 20 nm and dominant spherically shaped morphology. Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry then confirmed ZnO NP homogeneity, and X-ray diffraction verified their high crystalline and wurtzite-structure symmetry. Although plant height, thousand grain weight, and grain yield quantitative parameters did not differ statistically between ZnO NP-treated and untreated plants, the ZnO NP-treated plant grains had significantly higher oil and total nitrogen contents and significantly lower crop water stress index (CWSI). This highlights that the slow-releasing nano-fertilizer improves plant physiological properties and various grain nutritional parameters, and its application is therefore especially beneficial for progressive nanomaterial-based industries.
