Abstract: Field experiment was carried out at Agricultural College and Research Institute, Madurai during kharif season of 2017 to study the response of different levels of NPK fertilizers on yield attributes and quality of barnyard millet (Echinochloa frumentacea (Roxb.) Link) in Typic Haplustert soil. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with two replication. The treatments comprised of different NPK levels viz., N – 4 levels (30, 40, 50 & 60 kg ha-1), P – 3 levels (15, 20 & 25 kg ha-1), K – 3 levels (0, 7.5 & 15 kg ha-1), respectively and absolute control without fertilizer application. It was found that soil application of 40:15:15 kg NPK ha-1 significantly increased higher number of productive tillers per plant, earhead weight per plant (g), thousand grain weight (g), grain yield (kg ha-1), straw yield (kg ha-1), protein (%) and starch content (%) of barnyard millet.
