Performance of finger and foxtail millet at different levels of nutrient and cultural management
Author(s): M Roja, CH Deepthi and M Devender Reddy
Abstract: In India, finger millet and small millets respectively occupy 11.93 and 6.82 lakh ha area with a production of 199.92 and 4.89 lakh tones and the productivity of 1661 and 633 kg ha-1 (GOI, 2014). The yield potential of finger and foxtail millet is low as compared to the potentially achievable yield because of inadequate application of fertilizers, conventional cultivation of low yielding cultivars and lack of good management practices. The finger millet responded to fertilizer application from 90: 40: 25 to 100: 50: 50 Kg N, P2O5 and K2O ha-1 while foxtail millet responded from 30:15:15 to 50:30:20 Kg N, P2O5 and K2O ha-1 in red sandy loam to clay soils of South India. In this paper the research done on production technology of finger millet and foxtail millet in various regions of the country has been reviewed and presented comprehensively.
