Abstract
A field experiment was conducted in Tamil Nadu, India [date not given] to study the N and K uptake of finger millet cv. Indaf-9 as affected by K application. The treatments included 3 levels of K2O viz., 25 kg (K1), 50 kg (K2) and 75 kg (K3)/ha through muriate of potash applied in 4 different splits: full basal (S1), half basal and half at tillering (S2), half basal and quarter each at tillering and panicle initiation (S3), and half at tillering and half at panicle initiation (S4), with one treatment receiving no potassium (K0). N and K uptake increased with increasing levels of K application. The N:K ratio decreased due to K application at all stages of crop growth. Basal application of K (S1, S2 and S3) resulted in the lowest ratio and the highest was recorded at the tillering stage with no basal application of K (S4). The ratio was relatively high in grain compared with straw.
