Abstract:

The experiment was conducted at department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, Dapoli, Dist. Ratnagiri during kharif, season 2015.The present investigation was carried out in strip plot design with three replications. The treatments comprised of three sowing time viz; sowing of proso millet in 23rdmetrological week (MW), 25thMWand 27thMWand treatments constituted four establishment techniques viz., drilling at 20 cm, broadcasting, transplanting at 20 cm x 15 cm and awatni. Thus, there were in all twelve (12) treatment combinations. The gross plot size was 4.2 m x 3.3 m and net plot size was 3.8 m x 3.0 m, respectively. The soil of the experimental plot was fairly levelled and uniform in topography with well drained conditions. The soil of the experiment plot was sandy clay loam in texture, low in available nitrogen (247.43 kg ha-1) and phosphorus (10.92 kg ha-1) and moderately high in available potassium (229.62 kg ha-1), very high in organic carbon (11.57) and moderately acidic in reaction (pH 5.51).The seeds of proso millet were sown at different sowing times viz., 10th Jun (23rd MW), 24th Jun (25th MW) and 8th July (27th MW) 2015 with different establishment techniques viz; Drilling, Broadcasting, Transplanting and awatni. Sowing of proso millet in 25th MW produced maximum and significantly higher grain yield (9.26 q ha-1) and straw yield (33.00 q ha-1) over rest of sowing times. The magnitude of increase in grain yield recorded by sowing of proso millet in 25th MW over the crop sown in 23rd MW and 27th MW was 2.09, 3.69 per cent, respectively. The increase in straw yield recorded due to the crop sown in 25th MW over 23rd and 27th MW was 8.65, 12.74 per cent, respectively, Transplanting of proso millet produced maximum and significantly higher grain yield (10.15 q ha-1) and straw yield (36.21 q ha-1) over rest of the establishment techniques followed by awatni. The magnitude of increase in grain yield recorded by transplanting over awatni, drilling and broadcasting was 5.50, 18.02, and 27.19 per cent, respectively. The per cent increase in straw yield recorded due to transplanting over awatni, drilling and broadcasting was to the tune of 10.80, 29.92 and 35.31, respectively.
