Abstract/Description: | A field trial was conducted for two consecutive years (2011 and 2012) during rainy seasons to evaluate the pearlmillet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] variety ‘AVKB-19’ for different purpose viz. grain, fodder and dual under low, medium and high soil fertility levels for yields and fodder quality. Crop grown for dual purpose recorded 42.0 and 31.5% higher green fodder equivalent yield over grain and fodder purpose, respectively. Similarly, net returns (` 31,700/ha) and benefit:cost ratio (2.0) were also maximum under dual purpose pearlmillet. The benefit:cost under fodder purpose pearlmillet was almost equal to dual purpose. Application of 125% RDF recorded significantly higher green fodder equivalent yield (53.75 t/ha) and crude protein yield (696 kg/ha), which were 9.3 and 17.4% higher over 100% RDF. This treatment also improved crude protein content of fodder as well as stover. Splitting of N fertilizer improved yields and quality of fodder and resulted in higher net returns and benefit:cost ratio. Energy balance (200 × 103 MJ/ha) and energy use efficiency (28.5) were highest with dual purpose followed by grain purpose pearlmillet. Application of 125% RDF and splitting of N fertilizer improved energy balance, while energy use efficiency was maximum in 75% RDF. |
