“…Transplanted millet is associated with uniform and wider spacing compared to the direct-seeded method, and its interaction effect with desirable genotype results in taller plant growth. The results of this present investigation are further substantiated by similar findings by Kalaraju (2007) and Nandini and Sridhara (2019) in foxtail millet. Kalaraju, Kumar, Nagaraja, and Ningappa (2009) have also noticed that the increased plant height and larger number of tillers lead to more leaves, thereby resulting in increased straw yield in pearl millet.…”

A field experiment on two planting methods (direct seeding and transplanting) in finger millet was conducted using two cultivars; Samtenling Memja 1 (SM1) and IE4425 at the Agriculture Research and Development Centre (ARDC), Samtenling from July to December 2020. The study aimed to determine the best planting method that gave better yield and economic advantage in crop production. The results of the experiment showed that the transplanted finger millet recorded the highest yield (0.81 Mt ha-1) compared to directed seeded (0.65 Mt ha-1) but statistically not significant. There was a percent yield difference of 19.7 % between the two methods. Similarly, there was no significant effect between planting methods and yield components such as plant height, productive tillers, and finger numbers; but there were varietal significant effects on plant height and length of the fingers (P=0.00). However, a significantly shorter maturity duration was observed in direct-seeded millet (120 days) as compared to transplanted millet (126.5 days). Moreover, economic analysis indicates that net returns for direct seeding were considerably greater (>25%) than that of the transplanting method. Based on the study, direct-seeded finger millet could be promoted in farmers' fields considering the economic advantage and early maturity.

“…Significantly lower plant height was registered under treatment of 30 cm x 15 cm spacing (S 4 ) at 30 DATP, 60 DATP and harvest. Nandini and Sridhara (2019) observed that transplanting of foxtail millet seedling at 20 cm x 10 cm recorded significantly higher plant height as compared to other spacing. Further, it was observed that significantly the highest dry plant biomass of 2.99 and 12.93 g/plant as well as dry root biomass of 2.03 and 3.38 g/plant were recorded with 30 cm x 15 cm spacing (S 4 ) at 30 DATP and 60 DATP, respectively.…”

“…The increase in grain yield with increased nutrient supply could be explained on the basis of their beneficial effects on yield-attributing characteristics ( 63 ). The increase in yield may be due to genetic and environmental factors ( 64 ). Pareek and Shaktawat ( 65 ) in a study on pearl millet and Munirathnam et al ( 66 ) in a study on foxtail millet have also reported similar findings.…”

IntroductionMillets are nutritionally superior and climate-resilient short-duration crops and hold a prominent place in cropping sequences around the world. They have immense potential to grow in a marginal environment due to diverse adaptive mechanisms.MethodsAn experiment was conducted in an organic production system in the North Eastern Himalayan foothills of India for 3 consecutive years by evaluating high-yielding varieties (HYVs) of different millets, viz., finger millet, foxtail millet, little millet, barnyard millet, proso millet, and browntop millet, along with local landraces of finger millets (Sikkim-1 and Sikkim-2; Nagaland-1 and Nagaland-2) to identify stable, high-yielding, and nutritionally superior genotypes suited for the region.ResultsAmong the various millets, finger millet, followed by little millet and foxtail millet, proved their superiority in terms of productivity (ranging between 1.16 and 1.43 Mg ha−1) compared to other millets. Among different varieties of finger millets, cv. VL Mandua 352 recorded the highest average grain yield (1.43 Mg ha−1) followed by local landraces, Nagaland-2 (1.31 Mg ha−1) and Sikkim-1 (1.25 Mg ha−1). Root traits such as total root length, root volume, average diameter of roots, and root surface area were significantly higher in finger millet landraces Nagaland-1, Nagaland-2, and Sikkim-1 compared to the rest of the millet genotypes. The different millets were found to be rich sources of protein as recorded in foxtail millet cv. SiA 3088 (12.3%), proso millet cv. TNAU 145 (11.5%), and finger millet landraces, Sikkim-1 and Nagaland-2 (8.7% each). Finger millet landrace Sikkim-2 recorded the highest omega-6 content (1.16%), followed by barnyard millet cv. VL 207 (1.09%). Barnyard millet cv. VL 207 recorded the highest polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) content (1.23%), followed by foxtail millet cv. SiA 3088 (1.09%). The local finger millet landraces Sikkim-1 and Sikkim-2 recorded the highest levels of histidine (0.41%) and tryptophan (0.12%), respectively. Sikkim-1 and Nagaland-2 recorded the highest level of thiamine (0.32%) compared to the HYVs.ConclusionThese findings indicate that finger millet has great potential in the organic production system of the North Eastern Himalayan Region (NEHR) of India, and apart from HYVs like VL Mandua 352, local landraces, viz., Nagaland-2 and Sikkim-1, should also be promoted for ensuring food and nutritional security in this fragile ecosystem.
