Title

OPTIMIZATION OF AGE OF SEEDLINGS AND SPACING TO ENHANCE THE PRODUCTIVITY AND PROFITABILITY OF KODO MILLET UNDER TRANSPLANTED CONDITION

Abstract

Field experiment was conducted at Annamalai University Experimental Farm, Annamalai Nagar, Tamil Nadu, India during Kharif Season ( June to September, 2013 ) to optimize the age of seedlings and spacing to enhance the productivity and profitability of kodo millet under transplanted condition . The treatments comprised three ages of seedlings (20, 25 and 30 days) and four spacing (Farmer practice of direct sowing, 15 x 10, 20 x 10 and 25 x 10 cm). The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with factorial arrangements and replicated thrice. Among the three ages of seedlings and four spacing, 20 days old seedlings and spacing of 15 x 10 cm recorded higher values for growth attributes (Plant height, Number of tillers hill-1, Number of branches tiller-1 , Leaf area index (LAI), and Dry Matter Production (DMP) ), yield attributes (Number of panicles hill-1, Number of grains panicle -1 and Thousand grains weight) , Yield (grain and straw) and net return and return rupee-1 invested of kodomillet, respectively. The combined effect of age of seedlings and spacing, 20 days old seedlings planted at 15 x 10 cm registered its superiority over others for growth, yield attributes, yield of kodo millet. The same treatment combination recorded higher net return and return rupee-1 invested in kodo millet. Thus, it is concluded that adoption of transplanting of 20 days old seedlings with 15 x 10 cm spacing holds immense potentiality to boost the productivity and profitability of kodo millet under transplanted

Key Words
