The present experiment was entitled “The response of different Kodo millet (Paspalum scrobiculatum L.) varieties to varying levels of nitrogen fertilization” was carried out at research farm of RMD College and Research Station Ajirma Surguja (C.G.) during the kharif season of 2022 to find out the appropriate variety and nitrogen level to gate higher grain and economics of kodo for northern hill region of Chhattisgarh. Treatment consisting three kodo varieties viz. Indira kodo-1,C.G. kodo-2 and C.G. kodo-3 and three nitrogen levels viz.40, 60 ݑŽ}} 80 ݑذݑ” }ݑְݑpݑŸ}ݑ”}} ℎݑŽ^-1. Among the three varieties C.G. Kodo-3 produce significantly higher Growth parameters and yield attribute characters, grain yield 2966ݐްݑ” ℎݑŽ^-1, straw yield 5756ݐްݑ” ℎݑŽ^-1 andbiological yield 8724 ݐްݑ” ℎݑŽ^-1 and registered 17 and 7.5 percent higher grain yield over Indira kodo-1 and C.G. kodo-2 ℎݑŽ^-1. Among the three nitrogen levels 80 kg ℎݑŽ^-1 produce significantly higher Growth characters and yield attributes character, grain yield 2892ݐްݑ” ℎݑŽ^-1, straw yield 5785ݐްݑ” ℎݑŽ^-1 and biological yield 8679 ݐްݑ” ℎݑŽ^-1 and registered 13.34 and 6.59 percent higher grain yield over 40 and 60 kg nitrogen ℎݑŽ^-1. The study indicated an improvement in growth characters, yield attributes, yield, economics and benefit: Cost ratio under kodo variety C.G. kodo-3 at 80 kg nitrogen ℎ-1 with its overall benefit as compared to other varieties and preceding levels of nitrogen.
