Abstract
In trials in N. Nigeria in 1978-9, more tillers of pearl millet [P. americanum] produced harvestable heads at 60 000 plants/ha and 60-cm row spacing than at 80 000 or 100 000 plants and 45- or 75-cm row spacing. Although there were no significant differences in the number of days to 50% heading between the different plant populations, there were between the 3 cv. tested, with Zango taking the longest time (49 days). With grain yields of 1.2-1.7 t/ha, the 60-cm spacing yielded more than the 75-cm spacing and the 45-cm spacing yielded least. Highest yields were from the combination of 60 000 plants and 60-cm rows.
