Tillage and Nutrient Management Strategies to Improve the Performances of Little Millet under Irrigated Condition

Background: Millets rank sixth among cereal grains which has a great potential in contributing to food and nutritional security. Little millet (Panicum sumatrense L.), minor millet, quick germinating, short duration crop tolerant drought, excess moisture also rich nutrients. Use of improved varieties good agronomic management such as tillage practices, rotation, cropping system fertilization by nutrient through organic manures foliar supplementation during critical stages helps improving the soil fertility maximize productivity. Hence, there is need develop millets for production, security maintaining well Based on this consideration, new immersing attempt was made identify suitable prac­tices practices growth yield little millet. Methods: Field experiments were conducted research farm Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore summer rabi season 2022 order investigate performances under different sources. The experiment laid out strip plot design with 2 main 7 sub-plot treatments. consist viz., conventional farmer’s whereas includes along nutrition. Result: results revealed that (Disc plough + Cultivator Rotovator) application enriched vermicompost @ 1 t ha-1 followed spray 3% panchagavya 30th DAS 5% egg amino acid 45th had greater effect parameters attributes season, 2022.
