Abstract

The field experiment was conducted at the Central Farm, Central Experiment Station, Wakawali, Dr. Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth, Dapoli, District Ratnagiri (M. S.) during kharif season of the year 2009 on terraced upland to study the effect of establishment methods and nutrient management on yield attributes and yield of finger millet (Eleusine coracana G.). The experiment was laid out in a split plot design. The main plot treatments comprised four methods of crop establishment and sub-plot treatments consisted of five nutrient management practices. Thus, there were 20 treatment combinations replicated three times. On the basis of results obtained from present investigation, it was concluded that kharif finger millet grown under south Konkan conditions be established by transplanting and supplied with FYM @ 5 t/ha plus 75% RDF (60 : 30 : 00 kg NPK/ha) plus biofertilizers (Azospirillum+PSB), so as to obtain higher yield of finger millet.
