Abstract

A field experiment on “Effect of integrated nutrient management on yield and quality of summer pearlmillet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] varieties” was carried out during summer 2022 on loamy sand soil of Agronomy Instructional Farm, C. P. College of Agriculture, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar. The experiment was laid out in RBD with factorial concept with four replication. The result revealed that significantly higher plant height, effective tillers/plant, girth, length and weight of earhead, grain weight/earhead, grain yield (3366 kg/ha), straw yield (5970 kg/ha) and protein yield were recorded with GHB 1129. It also gave the higher net return (₹53663/ha) and BCR (2.233). Significantly higher plant height, effective tillers/plant, girth, length and weight of earhead, grain weight/earhead, grain yield (3576 kg/ha), straw yield (6271 kg/ha), protein yield and net return (₹57639/ha) with an application of RDF + 30 kg/ha FeSO4∙7H2O. An application of RDF (120-60-00 kg/ha N-P2O5-K2O) recorded higher value of BCR (2.277).
