Effect of nitrogen and phosphorus levels on yield and quality of summer pearlmillet

Abstract

A field experiment was carried out during summer season 2019 to find out the effect of nitrogen and phosphorus levels on yield and quality of summer pearlmillet at Agronomy Instructional Farm, Chimanbhai Patel College of Agriculture, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar. Total nine treatments of different levels of nitrogen and phosphorus were tested randomized complet block design with factorial concept. Among different levels, an application of 160 kg N/ha and 90 kg P2O5/ha recorded significantly higher number of effective tiller per plant, length of earhead, test weight and grain and straw yield compared to other treatment.
