Abstract

The experiment was conducted during Kharif 1991 and 1992. Pearlmillet+groundnut in 2:4 ratio recorded maximum drymatter production, but sole pearlmillet followed by pearlmillet+groundnut in 2:1 removed more NP. Application of 20 kg N+40kg P2O5/ha was superior to the rest of the fertilizer levels.
