Abstract

A field experiment was conducted to determine the influence of spacing and potassium levels on foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) var.during the (Zaid) 2022 with 9 treatments (viz. spacing at 25 x 10 cm, 30 x 10 cm, 35 x 10 cm respectively and K at 10, 20 and 30 kg/ha respectively). The soil experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.1), low in organic carbon (0.28%), available N (225kg/ha), available P (19.50kg/ha) and K (92kg/ha) at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P). Spacing of 30×10cm + 30 kg/ha Potassium recorded highest grain yield (2.11 t/ha), stover yield (3.95 t/ha), higher net return (84,587.00 INR/ha), gross return (57,552.00INR/ha) and benefit: cost ratio (2.13).
