Abstract
An experiment entitled “Performance of teff under different planting methods and nutrient management practices” was carried out on red sandy loam soil at ICAR-KVK, Haveri, Karnataka. The experimental design adopted was RCBD with Factorial concept, with a combination of two methods of planting and five nutrient levels replicated three times. Between the planting methods, transplanting teff seedlings obtained statistically higher grain and straw yields (240 and 407 kg ha-1, respectively), gross and net return (Rs 84999 and Rs 53106 ha-1, respectively). Among varied nutrient management practices, increased fertiliser levels increased grain yield (269 kg ha-1), gross and net return (Rs 95220 and Rs 63136 ha-1, respectively), and B:C ratio (2.96) under supply of 20:10:10 kg NPK ha-1, whereas further increment in fertilizer levels resulted in decreased grain yield due to increased crop lodging.
