Response of Finger Millet to Moisture Regimes and Nitrogen Levels

Abstract

Field experiments conducted at the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore during Rabi 1985-86 and Kharif, 1986 indicated that irrigating at 0.6 IW/CPE ratio throughout the crop period with an application of 80 kg N/ha was found to be most economical for finger millet Co. 11) grown under vertisols. The quadratic polynominal function with water and N as variables was found to be the best.
