Based on a part of M.Sc. thesis of the first author submitted to SKRAU, Bikaner during 2009 (unpublished)
A field experiment carried out at Bikaner during the kharif season of 2007 revealed that pearlmillet {Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br. Emend. Stutz} cv. ‘Rajasthan Bajra Chari-2’ is superior in varieties in plant height, dry matter, tillers/plant, crude protein, green and dry fodder yields, net returns and B:C ratio as compared to other varieties. Similarly, application of nitrogen up to 120 kg/ha significantly enhanced the plant height, dry matter, tillers/plant, crude protein, green and dry fodder yields net returns and B:C ratio.
