Influence of Nutrient Uptake by Irrigation, Nitrogen and Phosphorus and Their Effect on Quality Parameters of rabi Pearl Millet

摘要

An experiment was conducted in split plot design keeping four levels of irrigation in main plot and six treatment combinations comprising of three levels of nitrogen and two levels of phosphorus, in sub plot with four replications during rabi seasons of 1998 on clayey soil at Gujarat Agricultural University, Junagadh Campus, Junagadh (Gujarat) to study effect of various level of irrigation, nitrogen and phosphorus on nutrients content and uptake of pearl millet. The results revealed that application of IW/CPE of 0.7 recorded significantly higher yields viz. grain and stover yield and soil moisture parameters viz. consumption use of water, water use efficiency was at par with application of IW/CPE ratios of 0.9.
