Abstract

A field trial was conducted at AICRP on Weed Management, Department of Agronomy farm, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, during kharif season 2024-25 with the objective to study the effect of spacing and seed rate on performance of little millet. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with four replication and six treatments. Result of the study revealed that plant height (cm) at harvest and leaf area (cm2 plant-1) at 75 DAS was recorded highest in close spacing of 30 cm × 5 cm with 3 kg ha-1 seed rate and dry matter accumulation (g plant-1) at harvest was significantly higher in wider spacing 45 cm × 15 cm with 0.7 kg ha-1 seed rate.
