“…This was why the treatment N1 produced the lowest grain yield. These observations corroborate the findings of Ipsita et al (2020) [4] , Raviraja et al (2020) [11] and Tejaswi et al (2022) [15] .…”

A field experiment was conducted on clay soils at Agricultural Research station, Siruguppa, University of Agricultural Sciences, Raichur during 2021-22 and 2022-23 to find out the impact of nutrient management practices on foxtail millet yield and economics under foxtail millet-chickpea cropping system. A week before foxtail millet seeding, required quantity of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers were added to the soil as per the treatment. A two-year study's worth of combined data showed that different approaches to nutrient management improved foxtail millet production and profitability significantly. Among the treatments, the highest biological yield (6367 kg ha -1 ), grain yield (2084 kg ha -1 ) and stover yield (4269 kg ha -1 ) were recorded with the application of 100% RDF through inorganic fertilizers followed by the application of 75% N through inorganic fertilizers + 25% N through organic manures (biological yield: 5697 kg ha -1 ; grain yield: 1832 kg ha -1 and stover yield: 3875 kg ha -1 ), both were statistically on par with each other while superior over rest of the treatments. Similar trend was also recorded for gross return, net returns and benefit cost ratio during the both the years of pooled data. However, harvest index of foxtail millet crop recorded non-significant values among the different nutrient management practices. In order to maximize the foxtail millet productivity and economics under foxtail millet-chickpea cropping system, it is therefore feasible to grow the crop under combined application of organic manures (75% N) and inorganic fertilizers (25% N).

“…Organic manure and bio-fertilizers increased the formation of the root hairs and lateral root which helps in higher nutrient uptake and resulted in higher biomass production (Thumar et al 2016). This could also be attributed to the higher availability of NPK during the crop growth period which might have improved the plant height, the number of tillers eventually increase the straw yield (Monisha et al 2019). The yield increase in the same crop was reported in field trials using a combination of B. megaterium and A. chroococcum was 10-20 per cent (Brown, 1974).…”

“…The increased NPK in plants plays an important role in nutrient and sugar translocation in the plant, maintenance of turgor pressure of plant cells and increasing the plant growth and the number of tillers per plant. Monisha et al (2019) reported that higher availability of NPK during the crop growth period might have improved the plant growth characters like plant height and number of tillers per hill. The PGPR include regulating hormonal and nutritional balance, inducing resistance against plant pathogens, solubilizing nutrients for easy uptake by plants and indirectly boosting plant growth rate (Vejan et al 2016).…”

Crop suffers from the slow release of nutrients from organic manures at initial stages, which may cause a significant reduction in crop yield and farm income. This can be overcome by enrichment of organic manures with beneficial microbial culture and a judicious combination of inorganic fertilizers with such enriched organic manures. Finger millet was grown at AICRP for dryland Agriculture field during Kharif -2019 to study the effect of bio-enriched FYM viz., nitrogen fixers, phosphorus solubilizers, potassium solubilizers, PGPR and microbial consortia with 60 and 80 per cent RDF on growth, yield and economics of finger millet. Application of bio enriched FYM with microbial consortia + 80 per cent RDF (T10) recorded significantly higher plant height (86.38, 111.52 and 115.33 cm), number of tillers per plant (4.42, 5.20 and 5.42) and dry weight per plant (5.50, 15.05 and 27.27 g) at 60, 90 DAS and at harvest, respectively. Whereas, higher grain yield (2999 kg ha-1) and straw yield (4274 kg ha-1) were recorded in T10 treatment Which received 80 per cent RDF with microbial consortia and sème trématent recorded additional return of rupees 12683 per hectare over recommended use of fertilizers. The overall result showed that the bio enrichment of FYM with microbial consortia tended to reduce the application rate of chemical fertilizer and thus microbial consortia along with 80 per cent RDF could be recommended for finger millet.

“…It is one of the oldest crops cultivated for food, grain, hay and pasture. It ranks second in the total world production of millets and it continues to have an important place in world agriculture providing food for millions of people in arid and semiarid regions", (Sahoo et al, 2020) [1]. Foxtail millet is high in iron, calcium and has low phytic acid content (mownika R et al,) "In India, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are the major foxtail millet growing states.…”

The field experiment was conducted during ZAID season 2023 at experimental field of Crop Research Farm, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India. In the present study, the treatments consisting three levels of recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) viz., 100% RDF (60-30-30 Kg/ha), 75% RDF (45-22.5-22.5 Kg/ha) and 50% RDF (30-15-15 kg/ha) along with three different micro nutrients viz., Zinc - 0.5 kg/ha, Boron - 0.5 kg/ha and Iron - 0.5 kg/ha. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with 10 treatments each replicated thrice. The soil of experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.3), low available nitrogen (278.93 kg/ha), medium available phosphorus (15.4 kg/ha) and medium available potassium (173.7 kg/ha). Results revealed that higher plant height (84.20 cm), plant dry weight (10.61 g), number of tillers/ hill (4.53), length of ears (9.20 cm), number of ears/plant (4.47), test weight (3.47 g), grain yield (1.22 t/ha), straw yield (2.80 t/ha) were recorded in treatment 8 (NPK 100% RDF+ Boron 0.5 kg/ha). Maximum gross return (INR 48,408.33), net return (INR 30,913.33) and B:C ratio (1.77) were also recorded in treatment 8 (NPK 100% RDF + Boron 0.5 kg/ha). It can be concluded that the application of NPK 100% RDF +Boron 0.5kg/ha (Treatment 8) recorded higher yield and benefit cost ratio in Foxtail millet.
