Abstract

Field experiment was conducted at Kolhapur, Maharashtra during kharif seasons of 2007-09 to study the effect of different organic and inorganic sources of nutrients on crop yield of finger millet (Eleusine coracana L.) and soil properties. The results revealed that, on Entisols of sub-montane zone of Maharashtra, application of recommended dose of chemical fertilizers (60 : 30 NP kg/ha) recorded the highest grain and biological yield (2.92 and 4.07 t/ha) and B : C ratio (1.34).
