ABSTRACT
A field experiment was carried out at College Agronomy Farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, Gujarat on loamy sand soil during summer season of 2012 to study the effect of integrated nitrogen management under different crop established methods of pearl millet under middle Gujarat conditions. Data revealed that among different crop establishment methods sowing of pearl millet by using pair row transplanting method recorded significantly higher no. of effective tillers/meter row length, length of earhead and significantly the highest dry matter accumulation/plant, grain and straw yields, The maximum grain yield was found under pair row transplanting method and 4.07 and 16.50 per cent higher over transplanting at 45 X 10 cm and direct sowing at 45 x 10 cm, respectively. Among different nitrogen management treatments application of 50 % RDN + 25 % FYM + 25 % castor cake + Azosprilillum + PSB produced significantly higher values of no. of effective tillers/meter row length, length of earhead and straw yield and significantly the highest dry matter accumulation and grain yield of pearl millet. The maximum grain yield was found under 50 % RDN + 25 % FYM + 25 % castor cake + Azosprilillum + PSB and 28.58, 25.31, 24.01 and 9.36 per cent higher over other nitrogen management treatment, respectively. Further soil analysis data revealed that application of 50 % RDN + 25 % FYM + 25 % castor cake + Azospirillum + PSB recorded significantly the highest protein content in grain (%), organic carbon content(%), total nitrogen (%) and significantly higher available phosphorus and available potash in soil. Economic point of view sowing of pearl millet by pair row transplanting method and application of 50 % RDN + 25 % FYM + 25 % castor cake + Azospirillum + PSB recorded significantly higher net realization 34359 and 36026 `/ha, respectively.
