The effect of fertilizer and weed management on finger and foxtail millet productivity under marginal environments
Main Objective
To determine yield gains emanating from good agricultural practices on small-grained cereals.
Specific objectives are to evaluate
- The effect of three fertilizer rates on yield of finger and foxtail millets
- The influence of three weed management on the growth and yields of millets.
- The impact of three (3) salinity levels of irrigation water on the yield of millets.
Experimental design and treatments
Experimental design: Strip-split plot
Replications: 3
a. Vertical factor: Water salinity level (SAL)
- 0, 6 and 10 dSm-1
b. Horizontal factor: Weed management (WE)
- 3 times, two times and once
c. Sub-sub-plot factor: Fertilizer level (FERT)
- NPK: 0:0:0; 25:18:20; 50:36:40; 75:54:60
d. Both crops have the same layout in each salinity level
