Abstract
Ragi grain is a palatable nutritive food, with 7.1 Per cent protein and 0.33 per cent calcium. Staburavik and Heide (1974) reported that the crude protein content in ragi may vary from 7 to 13 per cent with rates of nitrogen upto 150 kg/ha. Tripathi (1971) found that irrigation at 40 per cent available soil moisture along with 180 kg N/ha in maize gave higher protein yield. The present investigation was undetaken to study whether irrigation and nitrogen could increase nutrient content in ragi grain
