Abstract

A field experiment was carried out to find out the effects of foliar organic nutrient application on seed yield and quality in foxtail millet at Agricultural Research Station, Hanumanmatti, UAS, Dharwad during Kharif 2018. The field trial was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design. Foliar application of organic nutrients exhibited significant variation on seed yield and yield components of foxtail millet. Foliar application of panchagavya (3%) recorded higher ear head length (20.70 cm), ear head weight (6.49 g), seed yield per plant (5.98 g) and thousand seed weight (4.89 g), seed yield (22.11 q/ha) compared to control. Among the different stage, 50 per cent flowering stage exhibited significantly higher seed yield (21.24 q/ha), ear head length (19.63 cm), ear head weight (6.12 g), seed yield per plant (5.59 g) and thousand seed weight (4.64 g) compared to panicle initiation stage.
