Author(s): Singh Divya and Jain AK
Abstract: A field experiment was carried out during rainy season of 2013-14 & 2014-15 at the Instructional Farm, JNKVV College of Agriculture, Rewa (M.P.) "To study the effect of tillage and cultural practices on of little millet". Little millet crop when grown by adopting conservation tillage practices and sowing of pigeonpea as intercrop followed by opening of conservation furrow between paiied rows of pigeonpea (C2) resulted in better growth and development of little millet over rest of the tillage and cultural practices. Conservation tillage (T2) was found the most suitable tillage practice for growing little millet crop under skeletal soil. The net return as well as benefit: cost ratio was recorded highest from the treatment (T2C2) here intereroppidg of little millet pigeonpea was done followed by opening in the ratio of 2:4 conservation furrowes between paired rows of pigeonpea due to the higher price of pigeonpea over the little millet. Whereas, the farmers obtaining for sole- little millet should grow little millet by adopting conservation tillage and application of crop residue as mulch for obtaining higher benefit.
