“…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).

Background: The field experiment was carried out during Zaid 2022 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P). The soil of experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.1), low in organic carbon (0.36 %), available N (171 kg/ha), available P (15.2 kg/ha) and available K (233 kg/ha). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments each replicated thrice on the basis of one year experimentation. The treatments which are T1: Sulphur 15 kg/ha + Zinc 0.2%, T2: Sulphur 15 kg/ha + Zinc 0.3%, T3: Sulphur 15 kg/ha + Zinc 0.4%, T4: Sulphur 25 kg/ha + Zinc 0.2%, T5: Sulphur 25 kg/ha + Zinc 0.3%, T6: Sulphur 25 kg/ha + Zinc 0.4%, T7: Sulphur 35 kg/ha + Zinc 0.2%, T8: Sulphur 35 kg/ha + Zinc 0.3%, T9: Sulphur 35 kg/ha + Zinc 0.4%, T10: Control are used. The results showed that application of Sulphur 35 kg/ha + Zinc 0.4% recorded significantly higher plant height (111.00 cm), Number of leaves/plant (12.00), Stem Diameter (5.80 cm), Plant dry weight (55.99 g/plant), Seeds/capitulum (216.66), unfilled Seeds/capitulum (35.00), Test weight (62.57 g), Seed yield (1935.60 kg/ha), stalk yield (4942.4 kg/ha), Harvest index (56.07 %), gross returns (Rs.1,16,136.00/ha), net return (Rs.82,486.00/ha) and benefit cost ratio (2.45).

“…This might be due to be application of NPK favorably affected the balanced macro nutrients and zinc which acts as an activator of enzymes in plants and is directly involved in the biosynthesis of auxin which increased the seeds/ear. Similar findings reported by (Swaroop et al,2023) [8].…”

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.
