Effect of Phosphorus and Boron on Growth and Yield of Foxtail Millet (Setaria italica)

During the rainy season (kharif) of 2021, a field trail “Effect phosphorus and boron on growth yield foxtail millet (Setaria italica)” was conducted treatments with three levels (i.e. P 25, 30, 35kg/ha B 1.5, 3.0, 4.5 kg/ha respectively) at CRF (Crop Research Farm) SHIATS, Department Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology Science, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. The soil experimental plot had sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral reaction (pH 6.9), low organic carbon (0.112%), available nitrogen (278.93 kg/ha), (10.8 kg/ha) potassium (206.4 kg/ha). Treatments included T1 – 25 kg P/ha + 1.5 B/ha, T2 3.0 T3 T4 30 T5 T6 T7 35 T8 T9 B/ha. Application B/ha registered higher plant height (113.65 cm), number tillers/m2 (66.00), dry weight (13.72 g/hill), productive (54.67), grain (1695.00 straw (2514.00
