Background: Pearl millet can thrive in a wide range of local conditions. In areas where sorghum cannot thrive, pearl millet is a viable alternative. Sorghum and maize can't compete with pearl millet when it comes to soil moisture utilisation and heat tolerance.
Objectives: Effects of Potassium and plant growth regulators on yield and economics of pearl millet.
Methods: With the goal of studying the effect of Potassium and plant growth regulators on yield and economics of Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) Var. NBH - 5658 under a Randomized block design with 10 treatments (T1-T10 The experimental results revealed that Potassium 60 kg/ha + NAA-100ppm,+Traicontonol-500ppm, produced ear head length (20.50 cm), Number of grains/ear head (1970.0), grain yield (2.72 t/ha), Stover yield (3.78 t/ha) harvest index (41.84 %).T9 Potassium 60 kg/ha + NAA-100ppm,+Traicontonol-500ppm produced greater gross returns (1,36,000.00 INR/ha), net returns (92,840.00 INR/ha), , and benefit-to-cost ratios (2.14).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
