Abstract

A field experiment was conducted to study the economics of finger millet (Eleusine coracana L. Gaertn) influenced due to different establishment techniques, levels and time of application of nitrogen. The field experiment was laid out in split-split plot design with 48 treatments and three replications. Total number of 48 treatments consist of four techniques of establishment as main plot (T1-Recommended transplanting at 20X15 cm, T2-Random transplanting, T3-Random broadcasting of 30 days old seedling (Awatni), T4-Random broadcasting of 20 days old seedling (Awatni)), three nitrogen levels in sub plot (F1-60 kg N ha-1, F2-80 kg N ha-1, F3-100 kg N ha-1) and four times of nitrogen application as sub-sub plot (S0-Basal- (half dose through suphala (15:15:15)), S1-2 Split- TP, 30 DAT, S2-3 Split- TP, 30 DAT, 60 DAT, S3-4 Split- TP, 20 DAT, 40 DAT, 60 DAT). The results of investigation clearly showed that finger millet crop established by recommended transplanting and 100 kg nitrogen per hectare with 3 splits of nitrogen application (at transplanting (TP), 30 and 60 DAT) gave higher returns, net returns and B:C ratio.
