Description A field experiment was conducted during the kharif 2011 and 2012 at
Kuthanagere watershed of Ramanagar district to study the effect of watershed
development on productivity of finger millet. Kuthanagere watershed has 13 soil
series of which 9 soil series were selected for taking the experiment based on their
suitability along with 2 varieties of finger millet viz., GPU-28 and MR-2. Among 9
soil series, Kuthanagere-1 soil series recorded significantly higher grain yield (31.74 q
ha-1) and it was found to be on par with Kuthanagere-3 (29.92 q ha-1) soil series. This
was mainly due to higher growth attributing characters like higher number of leaves
(8.93 plant-1), more number of tillers (3.46 plant-1) and higher dry matter production
(22.80 g plant-1) and its accumulation into different parts of plant and higher yield
attributing characters like number of fingers (5.46 ear-1) and number of effective
tillers (2.82 plant-1).
Among the two varieties, GPU-28 recorded significantly higher grain yield
(25.11 q ha-1) when compared to MR-2 (23.09 q ha-1). However, higher straw yield
was noticed in MR-2 (4.24 t ha-1) compared to GPU-28 (3.16 t ha-1). Higher straw
yield of MR-2 variety can be mainly attributed to higher plant height compared to
GPU-28.
Kuthanagere-1 soil series sown with GPU-28 shown significant interaction
(32.55 q ha-1) in pooled analysis followed by Kuthanagere-3 soil series with same
variety (21.03 q ha-1).
