Effect of organic and inorganic nitrogen management on growth and yield of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.)

Field experiment was conducted during Kharif season at Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Faculty of Agriculture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, Indian, to investigate the Effect of Organic and Inorganic Nitrogen Management on Growth and Yield of Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum L. The experiment was carried out in randomized block design with three replication in various permissible combination with organic and inorganic source of nitrogen on pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.). From the study it was revealed that 75% Nitrogen through poultry manure + 25% Nitrogen through Urea has shown statistically significant yield attributed and yield. This treatment combination has also shown highest net return and B: C ratio (1.98) while 100% urea also application has also shown good grain yield (2.24 t/ha) which was at par with the above combination but its net return and B:C ratio (1:21) was less than that 25% Nitrogen through Vermi Compost + 75% Nitrogen through Urea (1:69).
