Abstract

                                In the Lower Bhavani Project ayacut, Ragi was one of the major food crops raised under pre-project conditions. The soils of the ayacut are poor in nutrients resulting in low yield of crops. It was therefore, to be expected that the crops would respond to application of fertilizers under conditions of canal irrigation. To study the response of Ragi under irrigated conditions to different manurial treatments for fixing the optimum and economic manurial practice, manurial trials were conducted at the Agricultural Research Station, Bhavanisagar from 1960-61 to 1964-65 and the results of these trials are presented in this paper.
