Abstract
Finger millet (Eleusine coracana) was sown at 6, 25, 50 or 100 kg seed/ha, the 1st cut taken 30, 40 or 50 days after sowing and cut 3-5 times. High plant density increased plant ht. and decreased leaf number and dry wt./plant. Plant number decreased after 50 days especially with high plant density. Yield at the 1st cut increased with delay in cutting and with increasing density, but regrowth yields decreased with delay in the 1st cut and total yields depended on plant density. At 30 days after sowing content of carbohydrate was low and of N and NO3-N high. During early growth diurnal changes in chemical composition were marked. High total yields of carbohydrate were given by taking the 1st cut at 50 days and high yields of N bg taking the 1st cut early
