 ABSTRACT

An experiment was conducted to assess the different date of sowing viz; June 15th (D1), June 30th (D2), July 15th (D3) and July 30th (D4) and different sources of integrated nutrient management. The result revealed that the growth parameters, yield and economics were significantly influenced by various sowing dates and different integrated nutrient management. Sowing on June 30th recorded the higher yield and net returns and B:C ratio compared to other dates of sowing. The crop treated with 100 % RDF + pressmud @ 2.5 t ha-1 obtain higher yields and net returns over other treatments but it was over treatment having 100 % RDF alone.

Key words: Pearlmillet, Sowing dates, INM, Growth, Yield and Economics
