Abstract
In the wet season of 1972 and '73 pearl millet [Pennisetum americanum] cv. ACC 2781 was grown under irrigated conditions and given 30 lb N + 30 lb P + 30 lb K/ac or multiples thereof to 90 lb N + 90 lb P + 90 lb K/ac as (a) ammonium sulphate + triple superphosphate + K2SO4, (b) 23-23-0 NPK + K2SO4 or (c) 15-15-15 NPK. Grain yields increased from 10.1 and 13.5 maund/ac with no fertilizer in 1972 and '73 resp. to 40.6 and 26.2 maund/ac with 90 lb N + 90 lb P + 90 lb K/ac. When the fertilizers were applied in forms (b) and (c) yields were higher than with (a). Straw yields followed similar trends. Application of 90 lb N + 90 lb P + 90 lb K/ac as (c) gave the shortest crop duration and max. plant ht. and number of tillers/plant. [1 maund = 82.3 lb]
