Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2014 at ZARS, V. C. Farm, Mandya. The soil of the experimental site was red sandy loam with medium available NPK status. Experiment was laid out in RCBD with factorial concept replicated thrice. There were 12 treatment combinations involving 3 varieties (BAIF Bajra-1, AVKB-19 and GFB-1), two cuttings (Single cut at 45 DAS for green fodder and later for grain purpose and two cuts for green fodder at 45 DAS and at 40 days after first cut and later for grain purpose) and two nitrogen levels (100 and 150 kg ha-1). The results revealed that, the variety BAIF Bajra-1 recorded significantly higher grain and stover yield (8.95 and 62.66 q ha-1) compared to GFB-1 and AVKB-19. Single cut for green fodder followed by harvest for grain purpose has recorded significantly higher grain and stover yield (9.70 and 67.89 q ha-1) compared to two cuts for green fodder followed by harvest for grain purpose. Application of 150 kg nitrogen ha-1 has recorded significantly higher grain and stover yield (8.81 and 61.68 q ha-1) and superior over 100 kg nitrogen ha-1 (6.67 and 46.66 q ha-1). The variety BAIF Bajra-1 with single cut for green fodder followed by harvest for grain purpose along with application of nitrogen 150 kg ha-1 recorded significantly higher grain and stover yield (13.84 and 96.86 q ha-1). The variety BAIF Bajra-1 recorded significantly higher earhead length, earhead weight and earhead girth (37.24 cm, 18.93 g and 5.68 cm, respectively) compared to the variety GFB-1 (20.14 cm, 11.69 g and 5.67 cm, respectively) and AVKB-19 (19.15 cm, 8.66 g and 4.56 cm, respectively).
