“…Increased supply of primary nutrients might have increased the plant height, leaf growth, chlorophyll content and thereby photosynthetic efficiency which in turn enhanced the dry matter production in ragi.. This is in conformity with the findings of [12] and [13] where adequate supply of nutrients resulted in higher biomass production in ragi. The application of various doses of N: P2O5: K2O fertilizers didn't significantly influence the flowering.…”

Finger millet is one of the most healthy and nutritious crop grown all over India. A field experiment was conducted to standardize nutrient requirement of HYV of finger millet “Hima” at the Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, Vellanikkara, Kerala from October 2021 to February 2022. Randomized block design was followed with 8 treatments replicated thrice. The experiment comprised of eight treatments ie; T1 - Farm Yard Manure @ 5t ha-1 alone and six N: P2O5: K2O fertiiser doses along with FYM @ 5t/ha T2- NPK 90: 45: 45 kg ha-1 T3- NPK 60: 30: 30 kg ha-1 T4- NPK 50: 25: 25 kg ha-1 T5- NPK 40: 20: 20 kg ha-1 T6- NPK 30: 15: 15 kg ha-1 T7- NPK 20: 10: 10 kg ha-1 compared with an absolute control (without manures & fertilizers) (T8). Net plot size was 19.2m2 [640 plants per plot]. Finger millet was transplanted at a spacing of 30cm x 10cm at 30 DAS. Application of Farm Yard Manure @ 5 t ha-1 along with different N: P2O5: K2O levels resulted in higher plant height, leaf area index, dry matter production, grain yield and crude protein content in finger millet compared to absolute control. At all stages, the plants that received FYM @ 5 t ha-1 along with N: P2O5: K2O levels of 90: 45: 45 kg ha-1, 60: 30: 30 kg ha-1 and 50: 25: 25 kg ha-1 registered statistically comparable plant height and were superior compared to other levels of N P K. The plants which got the highest fertilizer dose (90:45:45 kg ha-1 N: P2O5: K2O) had the highest LAI (2.91), dry matter production (3874kg/ha) and grain yield (1523 kg ha-1) which was superior to all other N: P2O5: K2O levels and absolute control. The highest B: C ratio (1.43), grain and straw yield in finger millet was recorded with application of Farm Yard Manure @ 5t ha-1 + 90:45:45 kg N: P2O5: K2O ha-1 applied in two splits (at basal and 30 DAT) under north central laterites of Kerala.

“…Scientific manipulation of the crop weed environment in favour of crop plants by the application of fertilizers will lead to selective stimulation of crop growth, which itself may serve as a weed smothering measure. Chavan et al (2017) reported that total dry weight of weeds at harvest was significantly higher due to application of 100 kg N ha -1 followed by 80 kg N ha -1 and 60 kg N ha -1 and lowest level of nitrogen recorded higher weed control efficiency. It was also observed that application of N in four splits significantly lowered the density and dry weight of weeds.…”

Millets are the traditional staple food of dry land regions and have the potential to contribute substantially for food, fodder and the nutritional security. The millets are relatively poor competitors against weeds especially during the early growth stages due to their slow initial growth and wider spacing. Yield loss due to weeds in millets varies from 5 to 94 per cent depending on climatic, edaphic and biotic factors. Weeds compete with crops for nutrients, soil moisture, sunlight and space when they are limiting, resulting in reduction in yield, quality and increased cost of production. The objective of this paper is to review the research that have been conducted pertaining to various aspects of weed management in millets. The literature suggests that instead of relying on any single method of weed control, all the feasible methods are to be integrated for the effective and sustainable management of weeds in millets. Integrated weed management can effectively overcome the problems of weed shift and development of resistance in weeds and reduce the weed seed bank and manage the weeds below the economic threshold level to avoid any economic loss.
