HEAT UNIT EFFICIENCY IN PEARL MILLET

Abstract

Field experiments were conducted on pearl millet crop sown at different dates of sowing at Dry Farming Research Station, Solapur during the year 1988 to 1992. Data revealed that the heat unit efficiency was higher in early sown than later sown, crop. The dry matter production was decreased with delay in sowing. Seed yield had positive and significant association with heat unit efficiency. This study also suggest that heat unit efficiency can be used as a measure of crop efficiency for use under varying agroecological situations.
