Abstract

A field experiment was carried out during Kharif season of 2021 at CRF (Crop Research Farm) of SHUATS, Prayagraj to study about the Effect of Spacing and Plant growth regulators on growth and yield Of Finger millet (Eleusine coracana L.) The test turned into specified in randomized block design by keeping three spacing levels, i.e. S - (20 x 10 cm), S2 – (30x10cm) and S3 – (40x10cm) and Plant growth regulators i.e. Boric acid 3000ppm, Gibberellic acid 50ppm and Salicylic acid 40ppm which was replicated three times. Results revealed that application of spacing 40 x 10 cm + Gibberellic acid 50ppm was recorded  significantly maximum plant height (81.62 cm), number of tillers per plant (6.16),  Plant dry weight (15.1 g/plant) and Grain yield (4.23t/ha). However,  net return (72,650 INR/ha) and B:C ratio (2.19 ) have been recorded with treatment of  40 x 10cm spacing  + Gibberellic acid 50ppm. Therefore I concluded that spacing of 40 x 10cm + Gibberellic acid 50ppm was produced more grains and economic effective.
