A field experiment was carried out at Agricultural Research Sub Station, Samdari, Rajasthan to evaluate the performance of pearl millet advance hybrids (MH 2192, MPMH 21, HHB 272 and RHB 177) under different levels of nitrogen (0, 20, 40 and 60 kg/ha). Results showed that application of nitrogen at the rate of 60 kg/ha recorded significantly (p < 0.05) higher plant height (119.7 cm) and grain yield (584 kg/ha) as compared to control and 20 kg N/ha but remained at par with 40 kg N/ha. While application of nitrogen at the rate of 60 kg/ha recorded significantly higher number of tillers and effective tillers/plant over lower nitrogen levels and control. Hybrids of pearl millet were found significant (p < 0.05) with respect to plant height at harvest and fodder yield and MH 3192 recorded higher plant height (120.7 cm) and fodder yield. Hybrid MPMH 21 significantly recorded highest grain yield (615 kg/ha) than other hybrids but at par with MH 578.
