Evaluation of varieties and irrigation levels on the preformance of finger millet in sodic soil

Abstract

Two field experiments were conducted at Anbil Dharmalingam Agricultural College and Research Institute, Tiruchirappalli during 2018 and 2019. The main plot treatments consisted of three varieties viz; V1: TRY1, V2: Paiyur2 and V3: CO(Ra)15. The sub-plot treatments were I1: IW/CPE ratio of 0.4, I2: IW/CPE ratio of 0.6, I3: IW/CPE ratio of 0.7, and I4: IW/CPE ratio of 0.8. The seasons were Kharif. The design used was split plot design with three replications. The study indicated that the variety, CO(Ra)15 with IW/CPE ratio 0.8 and 0.7 recorded the highest grain yield and on par.
