SUMMARY
The present study was carried out during kharif season 2022-2025 at Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar to evaluate the crop geometry and nitrogen levels on the productivity of barnyard millet. The experiment was laid out in split plot design taking three spacing levelsi.e.20cm×10cm,25cmx10cm,30cmx10cminmainplotsandfivenitrogendosesviz.0,20,30, 40 and 50 kg N/ha in sub- plots with three replications. Among spacing levels, 30 cm x 10 cm followed by 25 cm x 10 cm was recorded with highest grain yield (1657 kg/ha), biological yield (9950 kg/ha) and Harvest index (16.98%). The application of increased dose of N brought profound increase in yield significantly over control. Among nitrogen levels, higher grain yield was recorded with 50 kg N/ha. However, grain yield, biological yield and straw yield was comparable with 40 kg N/ha.
Key words: Barnyard millet, spacing levels, nitrogen doses, grain yield and harvest index
