Abstract:
Pearl millet is an important source of energy and protein for millions of people. Millet produces better grain than other grains under adverse weather conditions such as poor soil, high temperature and long drought. An experiment was conducted at RVSKVV Agricultural College, Gwalior, in the summer of 2016. Combined treatments were used with three sowing dates (20, 30 July and 9 August) and five pearl millet varieties (Big B, Crystal Dhoom, Boss-65, Ankur-045 and 86M86). The experiment was adapted to a split-plot design and repeated three times. The results showed that the Crystal Dhoom variety had better yield and B:C ratio (benefit-cost ratio) on the first day of sowing (July 20). Variety Crystal Dhoom reported that the yield was higher at 1989.70 kg/ha, followed by Boss-65 1162.54 kg/ha, Ankur-045 1792.75 kg/ha, 86M86 1675.52 kg/ha and Big B1768.1768. It shows. The highest return (Rs./ha) was given for the Crystal Dhoom variety of Rs. 19,066 (Rs./ha), followed by Boss-65 variety at Rs. 5,713 (Rs./ha), Ankur-045 at Rs. 14,550 (Rs./ha), 86M86, Rs. 13,321 (Rs./ha). Ha) Ha) Big B gives 15066 (Rs./ha) respectively. There are significant differences in growth and adverse outcomes between different planting dates. According to statistics, the highest yield was 1976.94 kg/ha on the first sowing day (20 July), 1737.82 kg/ha on the second sowing day (30 July) and 1318.45 kg/h on the third sowing day (9 August). Ha. Similarly, statistics on the first sowing day (20 July) show the maximum returns (Rs./ha) at 17941 (Rs./ha), followed by the second sowing day (30 July) at 14919 (Rs./ha) and 7770 (Rs./ha) shows/ha) on the third day of sowing (9 August).
