An experiment was conducted at Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi during 2017-18 and 2018-19 for Finger millet-Green pea cropping system under two factors viz., different seed rates and organic nutrient managements for finger millet and its residual effect with 50% nutrition in succeeding green pea. Results revealed that growth parameters, yield attributes, yield and economics of finger millet were significantly influenced by different treatments of seed rate and organic nutrient management. In finger millet, plant height at 90 DAS(73.33 cm), LAI at 60 DAS (2.78) and dry matter accumulation per m² at harvest (815.8 g) were maximum with125% seed rate and 100% N through vermicompost. Yield attributes namely, effective tillers per m² (66.53), number of fingers per ear (7.07), ear weight (7.23 g), test weight (3.61 g), number of grains per ear (2751), grain yield (25.17 q/ha) and straw yield (44.57 q/ha) of finger millet were also recorded maximum in the same treatment.
