... parameters as influenced by levels of nitrogen and method of fertilizer application in finger millet Plant height. The data pertaining to effect of levels of nitrogen and method of fertilizer application on plant height was recorded at 30, 60, 90 DAS and at harvest are presented in Table 1. Plant height is an important parameter related to growth and development of crop. ...Similar publications
Finger millet is a traditional food crop that holds immense significance due to its versatility, climate resilience, and higher nutritional value. Finger millet growers face challenges due to poor soil properties and environmental conditions. To meet the growing demand, finger millet production must be substantially increased through suitable organ...
Overuse of chemical fertilizers shows interference with biological components of the soil, hence resulting in soil acidification, stunning growth of the plant, altered pH of the soil, growth of pests, and, dense release of greenhouses in the environment. This further increases the concentration of harmful ions in soil and inhibits crop growth leadi...
Background: In Northern Ethiopia, a major obstacle to the production and productivity of finger millet is the lack of extensively adaptable, high-yielding, and disease-resistant varieties. Due to this intervention: the study was to evaluate and choose disease-resistant, early-maturing, high-yielding finger millet varieties for the target locations....

... The superior crop growth rate and net assimilation rate were also due to the fact that nano nutrient supplied through foliage have mobilized more efficiently by the plant resulted in improved growth parameters and ultimately enhanced the crop growth rate and net assimilation rate of sweet corn. These results of present investigation are in close agreements with the findings of Mirji et al. [33], Pal et al. [34] and Sneha et al. [35]. ...
A lack of synchronization between nitrogen (N) demand and supply results in the loss of applied nitrogen from the soil-plant system. Leaf colour chart (LCC) based nano urea application according to crop specific need has the potential to enhance the crop productivity by reducing N losses. In this context, a field experiment was conducted during summer seasons of 2022 and 2023 on medium black calcareous soil at Junagadh (Gujarat) to study the response of sweet corn to nano urea under precision nitrogen management. Ten treatments comprising 40 kg N as basal (through DAP and urea) + 40 kg N through urea at 25-30 DAS + 40 kg N through urea at 40-45 DAS, 40 kg N as basal + 40 kg N through urea at 25-30 DAS + two foliar spray of nano urea 0.4% (4 ml/l water) when LCC ≤ 4, 40 kg N as basal + 30 kg N through urea at 25-30 DAS + three foliar spray of nano urea 0.4% when LCC ≤ 4, 40 kg N as basal + 20 kg N through urea at 25-30 DAS + four foliar spray of nano urea 0.4% when LCC ≤ 4, 40 kg N as basal + 20 kg N through urea at 25-30 DAS + three foliar spray of nano urea 0.4% when LCC ≤ 4, 40 kg N as basal + 10 kg N through urea at 25-30 DAS + four foliar spray of nano urea 0.4% when LCC ≤ 4, 40 kg N as basal + 10 kg N through urea at 25-30 DAS + three foliar spray of nano urea 0.4% when LCC ≤ 4, 40 kg N as basal + four foliar spray of nano urea 0.4% when LCC ≤ 4, 40 kg N as basal + three foliar spray of nano urea 0.4% when LCC ≤ 4 and control (without N application) in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Based on the results of two-years field study, it can be concluded that higher growth, green cob and fodder yields, quality, net returns and B: C ratio of sweet corn can be obtained by the application of 40 kg N as basal + 40 kg N through urea at 25-30 DAS + two foliar spray of nano urea 0.4% when LCC ≤ 4 or 40 kg N as basal + 30 kg N through urea at 25-30 DAS + three foliar spray of nano urea 0.4% when LCC ≤ 4 or 40 kg N as basal + 40 kg N through urea at 25-30 DAS + 40 kg N through urea at 40-45 DAS.
