Abstract:
Barnyard millet newly developed genotypes viz., DHBM-36-6, DHBM-56-6 along with check, RAU-11 was evaluated at ARS, Hanumanamatti and MARS, Dharwad in zone-8 of Karnataka. The highest grain yield and fodder yield produced by DHBM-36-6 (Grain: 43.05q/ha and Fodder: 63.80 q/ha) and followed by DHBM-56-6 (Grain: 39.54 q/ha and Fodder: 61.90 q/ha) and RAU-11 (Grain: 3744 kg/ha and Fodder:59.00 q/ha). Same genotypes were produced highest grain and fodder yield found in spacing of 22.5 x 10 cm (70.90 q / ha) as compared to 30 x 7.5-10 cm spacing (52.30 q/ha). When look into returns, DHBM-56-6 (Rs 39544 and Rs 28861) and RAU-11 (Rs 37438 and Rs 26754), the DHBM-36-6 (Rupees 43052 and Rupees 32369) produced the greatest gross and net returns. Out of three genotypes, DHBM-36-6 (4.02:1) exhibited statistically more B:C ratio as compared to DHBM-56-6 (3.69:1) and RAU-11 (3.5:1).
