ABSTRACT
A field experiment to study the effect of cultivars and integrated nutrient management on nutrient content, quality and water productivity was conducted at Prof.Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad. On the basis of experimental data significant improvements were recorded in the nutrient content, quality and water productivity. Highest nutrient content, protein content, protein yield and water productivity were observed with PHB-3 among the cultivars. With respect to integrated nutrient management, 75% RDF + Biofertilizers @ 5 kg ha-1 incubated with vermicompost @ 500 kg ha-1 recorded highestnutrient content, protein content, protein yield and water productivity over the rest of the treatments.
Key words :
Nutrient content, Pearl millet, Protein content, Protein yield, Water productivity.
