Abstract

Invesugations were carried out at the Regional Station, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, Coimbatore during rubi seasons of 1973-74 and 1974-75 on nitrogen nutrition of different hybrids of pearl millet. Among the hybrids HB-3 and HB-5 were found to be most promising. Grain yield of all the hybrids was increased considerably by N app. lication. The optimum level of N for different hybrids ranged from 70 to 129 kg/ha. Stover vield also increased with increasing levels of N.
