Abstract

Experiments carried out in northwest India show that yields of pearl millet were significantly increased when grown after legume crops such as groundnut (22.6%), cowpea (24.2%) or pigeonpea (12.2%) instead of after pearl millet. A previous crop of short-duration mung did not affect the yield of pearl millet. Benefits from previous crops of groundnut and cowpea were equivalent to about 60 kg N/ha applied to a pearl millet crop following a previous crop of pearl millet
