Abstract

In irrigated trials in 1970-1, 3 pearl millet hybrids [Pennisetum americanum] grown at 3 stand densities in the range 100 000-250 000 plants/ha gave higher average fresh fodder yields with application of 150 kg N/ha than with 75 or 225 kg/ha. A stand density of 175 000 plants/ha gave the highest yields, but the differences between the 3 stand densities were significant in 1970 only.ADDITIONAL ABSTRACT:In irrigated trials in 1970-1, 3 pearl millet [Pennisetum typhoides = P. americanum] hybrids grown at 3 stand densities in the range 100 000-250 000 plants/ha and given 75-225 kg N/ha gave the highest average grain yields with a stand density of 175 000 plants/ha and with the application of 150 kg N/ha
