Effect of Irrigation Schedule and Nitrogen Management on Productivity, Profitability of Summer Pearl Millet Grown Under Clay Soils of South Gujarat
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Innovations and Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
A field experiment was carried out at Soil and Water Management Research Farm, Navsari, on clayey soils during summer season of 2016 to study the “Effect of irrigation schedule and nitrogen management on productivity, profitability of summer pearl millet grown under clay soils of South Gujarat”. Irrigation schedule at 0.8 IW: CPE ratio recorded significantly higher growth and yield attributes viz., plant height, leaf area index, number of effective tillers plant-1, length and girth of ear head, grain weight head-1, test weight as well as yields of pearl millet, but it remained at par with treatment Irrigation schedule at 1.0 IW: CPE ratio. Most of all the attributes and yields of pearl millet recorded significantly higher under higher level of nitrogen i. e. 120 kg N ha-1, which was at par with 100 kg N ha-1. Application of 1% foliar spray of banana pseudo stem enrich sap at tillering and flag leaf stage recorded significantly higher growth as well and yield attributing characters and yields of summer pearl millet. The maximum water use efficiency was recorded under irrigation scheduling at 0.8 IW: CPE.
