Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during Kharif season of 2017-18 at the College of Forestry, V.C.S.G. Uttarakhand University of Horticulture and Forestry, Ranichauri, Tehri Garhwal, Uttarakhand, India to study the effect of fertility levels on different high yielding cultivars of barnyard millet under rainfed conditions of hills of Uttarakhand. The experiment consisted of two factors viz. variety and fertilizer. The experiment had three fertility levels viz. 75% RDF (Recommended Dose of Fertilizer), 100% RDF and 125% RDF and four varieties viz. VL249, DHBMV23-3, VL172 and VL207. Total experiment has twelve treatment combinations. The three fertility levels were laid out in main plots and four varieties were in sub-plots of split plot design along with three replications. The results indicated that VL249 was the most economical high yielding cultivar of barnyard millet at 100% of the recommended dose of fertilizer with higher B:C ratio of 1.92 for rainfed conditions of Garhwal hills.
