Abstract

A field experiment was conducted to determine the influence of spacing and potassium levels on foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) during the (Zaid) 2022 with 9 treatments with Factor I (viz. spacing at 25ⅹ10 cm, 30ⅹ10 cm and 35ⅹ10 cm) respectively and Factor II (viz. potassium at 10, 20 and 30 kg/ha). The soil experimental plot was sandy loam texture. The experiment laid out in factorial Randomized Block Design at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P). Giving of Spacing 30×10cm + 30 kg/ha Potassium recorded highest plant height in treatment 6 (104.40 cm), plant dry weight in treatment 9 (12.58g), treatment 6 is highest grain yield (2.11 t/ha) and stover yield (3.95 t/ha).
