- Abstract
A field experiment was carried out at Research Institute of Organic Farming, UAS, GKVK, Bangalore during Rabi 2019 & summer 2020 to know the effects of organic bio priming treatments and foliar spray on growth and seed yield attributes in foxtail millet. The field experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design. The results revealed that Organic bio priming treatment and foliar spray and their interaction showed significant variation on growth and seed yield attributes of foxtail millet in both seasons. Among the two season in summer season Bheejamruta (3%) recorded highest plant height at 30,60 and 90 DAS (36.98, 74.00 and 93.35 cm respectively), number of tiller per plant (11.45), panicle length (25.11 cm), seed weight per panicle (64.82g), 1000 seed weight (4.03 g), seed yield per plot (2261.9 g), seed yield (1838.9 kg/ha) and least number of Days to 50 per cent flowering (60.52) and days to maturity (100.50), compared to control. Foliar application (F2) of Panchagavya (3%) recorded highest plant height on 60 and 90 DAS (61.11 and 88.81 cm), number of tiller per plant (9.67), panicle length (22.92 cm), seed weight per panicle (65.05 g),1000 seed weight (3.97 g) seed yield per plot (2230.0 g), seed yield (1813.0 kg/ha) and lowest number of Days to 50 per cent flowering (62.42) days to maturity (104.25), compared to control. The interaction of Bheejamruta (3%) along with Panchagavya (3%) (T2F2) also found best for the both growth and yield parameters.
