Application of nitrogen through farmyard manure to jowar (Sorghum vulgare) crop under rainfed conditions increased the yield of grain and karbi significantly. A mean response of 68.05, 112.46 and 160.55 kg acre over control were obtained with 20, 40 and 80 lb Njacre (as FYM). The linear response for grain and karbi was found to be significant. Continuous application of FYM increased the total nitrogen content but had no effect on physical properties of the soil under the conditions of experiment.
