Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted to study the “Effect of age of seedlings at transplanting, different nutrient levels and micronutrient on nutrient uptake of proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) grown during kharif season of Konkan region of Maharashtra. Soil was having low to moderate fertility status. The experiment was laid out in split split plot design with three main plot, two sub plot and four sub sub plot treatments. The data revealed that transplanting of proso millet at 30 day old age seedling were obtained that the highest cost of cultivation, gross return, net return and B:C ratio found under the different age of seedling. In fertilizer levels application of 125 per cent of the RDF were significantly higher cost of cultivation, gross return, net return and B:C ratio over the 100 per cent RDF. In cases of different levels of micro-nutrients data reveals that the combined application ZnSO₄ and FeSO₄ were recorded highest cost of cultivation, gross return, net return and B:C ratio over rest of the treatments.
