Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) Var ABV-04 as Influenced by Nitrogen & Phosphorus Effects on Growth Parameters and Yield

Abstract

Background: Pearl millet can grow in a variety of environments. Pearl millet is a viable alternative to sorghum in areas where it cannot thrive. When it comes to soil moisture utilisation and heat tolerance, sorghum and maize cannot compete with pearl millet.
 Objectives: Effects of nitrogen and phosphorus on growth parameters and yield of pearl millet
 Methods: With the goal of studying the effect of nitrogen and phosphorus on growth and yield of Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) Var. ABV - 04 under a Randomized block design with 9 treatments (T1-T9) The experimental results revealed that 120 kg N/ha + 60 kg P/ha produced maximum plant height (214.37), plant dry weight (46.74) and yield parameters ear head length (20.77 cm), number of grains/ear head (1972.0), grain yield (2.68 t/ha), and stover yield (3.77).
 Conclusion: The combination of 120 kg nitrogen/ha and 60 kg phosphorus/ha proved to be the most advantageous to farmers, resulting in 214.37-cm plant height, 46.74-gm plant dry weight, 1972 grains per ear head, and 2.68 ta grain and 3.26 ta stover yields, respectively.

“…Several rural communities utilise the bajra crop as a feed grain for their cows and for thatching rooftops. Most bajra is grown in dry, arid regions [1]. A cereal crop, after rice, wheat, maize, and sorghum, that is essential.…”
