Abstract

Hybrid pearl millet and wheat were grown during 1974-7 in 77 and 96 experiments, resp., on loamy sand soils in cultivators' fields under various levels of NPK and Zn fertilization. All of the P and K and half of the N was drilled at sowing; the remaining N was top-dressed after 3 wk in both crops. Highest grain yields of pearl millet (2.61 t/ha) and of wheat (5.39 t/ha) were obtained with 120 kg N + 60 kg P + 60 kg P/ha applied with Zn to both crops
