“…The findings of present experiments showed that, productivity of dual-purpose barley varieties increased with the increasing the level of nitrogen application. Our results confirm the findings of Sharma and Verma (2010); Rawat (2011);Tiwana et al, (2012) and Raval et al, (2014).…”

A field experiment was conducted during the winter (rabi) season of 2016–17 and 2017–18 at Research Farm, Rajasthan Agricultural Research Institute, Durgapura, Jaipur (Rajasthan), to study the effect of nitrogen and cutting management on production, potential and profitability of dual-purpose barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) varieties. The experiment consisted of 24 treatment combinations, comprising of 4 levels of cutting management, i.e. 0, 40, 50 and 60 days after sowing (DAS), 2 varieties, viz. ‘RD 2552’ and ‘RD 2715’, and 3 levels of nitrogen, i.e. 100, 125 and 150% recommended dose of nitrogen (RDN), laid out in a factorial randomized block design, replicated thrice. The maximum green fodder yield (26.30 t/ha) and protein content (8.34%) were noticed when cutting was done at 60 DAS, whereas the highest net returns (` 74,447/ha) and benefit: cost ratio (2.02) were recorded at 50 DAS. The highest fodder yield (16.55 t/ha) was recorded with ‘RD 2715’, while the highest net returns (` 68,002/ ha) and benefit: cost ratio (1.92) were obtained in variety ‘RD 2552’. Nitrogen fertilization of 125% RDN to barley recorded significantly higher grain and straw yields, crude protein and benefit: cost ratio.

“…Net return of different treatments clearly indicated that IW: CPE ratio of 0.75 with 11 irrigations at 7-8 days interval gave the highest profit as compared to other ratios and also higher benefit : cost ratio of 1.32. Raval et al (2014) reported that irrigation at 1.2 IW: CPE ratio produced significantly higher green fodder yield, dry matter yield, crude protein content and yield, available nitrogen and phosphorus over 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 ratios. However, water use efficiency was higher with 0.8 IW /CPE ratios.…”

Water Management for Improving Pearl Millet Production under Irrigated Environment: A Review

Pearl millet also called “poor man food” is known for its drought resistance, well adaptation to harsh conditions like soils with poor water holding capacity, low nutrient status, problematic soils, etc. Irrigation has been recognized as a basic necessity for sustaining high productivity of various crops. Moreover, it affects the crop yield directly as well as indirectly by increasing their response to other inputs including fertilizers and various management practices. It is well known that water deficit is one of the major abiotic factors limiting crop productivity in the semi-arid tropics. Out of the various production constraints; low productivity of pearl millet is mainly attributed to its cultivation under dry land conditions and improper water management under irrigated conditions. So application of irrigation water offers the scope for improving the quality as well as productivity of pearl millet. Therefore, to augment the productivity of the poor’s man crop, review of the research work related to irrigation scheduling and moisture conservation practices of pearl millet has been presented here for directing the future research.

“…Forage cutting date was found to be a determinant factor that affect to a great extend the regrowth habit as well as yield of forage crops. It was established that early cutting would trigger crop re-growth, while delayed cutting tend to produce higher yield (Bukhari et al, 2011;Raval et al, 2014;Manjanagouda, 2015). In this context, Andrews and Kumar (1992) In the light of that background, the present investigation was carried out with the aim to determine the most suitable cutting date and optimum nitrogen (N) fertilizer level that can bring about better growth and higher forage yield in pearl millet cultivar Shandaweel 1 under the agro-climatic conditions of Sharkia Governorate, Egypt.…”

This investigation was conducted at the, Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Zagazig University, Sharkia Governorate, Egypt during 2016 and 2017 summer seasons to study the growth and forage yield of Pearl millet. The experiment was arranged in a split plot design with three replications. The treatments consisted of two cutting dates [early at 56 days after sowing (DAS), and late at 63 DAS for the 1 st cut, and after 35 and 42 days from the 1 st and 2 nd cuts for the 2 nd and 3 rd cuts] respectively and three nitrogen (N) fertilizer levels viz. 15, 30 and 45 kg N/fad./cut. The results indicated that late cutting date significantly produced the highest growth values for each of plant height (238.2 cm), leaf area/plant (4970.2 cm 2 ) and fresh forage weight (164.9 (g)/plant). Also, the highest fresh and dry forage yields (16.88 and 3.541 ton/fad), the highest total fresh seasonal yield (TFSY) and total dry seasonal yield (TDSY) 37.98 and 7.11 ton/fad., were as well recorded by late cutting in both seasons. Apparently, the highest obtained value of each studied growth traits and the forage yield during both growing seasons was achieved by increasing N fertilizer level up to the highest amount (45 kg N/fad./cut), followed by 30 and 15 kg N/fad./cut, respectively. The significant interaction effect between the two studied factors on forage yield indicated that the highest (TDSY) (7.607 ton/fad.) of pearl millet was obtainable at late cutting date under application of 45 kg N/fad./ cut. The results of the present study has concluded that, cutting at 63 DAS followed by 42 and 35 days interval for next cuts (three cuts) with application of 45 kg N/fad./cut is optimum for better growth and yield performance in pearl millet cultivar "Shandaweel 1" under the agro-climatic conditions of Sharkia Governorate in Egypt and similar areas.
