Effects of Mulches and Type of Seed Bed on Pearl Millet (Pennisetum Typhoides) under Semi-arid Conditions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 October 2008
Summary
A field experiment was conducted for two years to study the influence of type of seed bed and various mulcheson yield and nutrient uptake by pearl millet, and on moisture conservation, under the semi-arid conditions of Delhi. A flat seedbed stored more moisture, gave significantly higher yield of pearl millet, and increased the uptake of N, P and K, compared withridge and furrow beds. Mulches were effective in conserving moisture, with straw mulch significantly better than dust mulch inits effect on crop yield and nutrient uptake.
