SUMMARY
A field experiment was conducted at Vegetable Research Farm, Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University; Hisar to study the effect of hybrids and fertility levels on growth, growth indices and stover yield of pearl-millet under treated sewage water application. The experiment was laid out in factorial RBD with three replications. The treatment comprised of hybrids viz. HHB 67(Improved) and HHB299 and fertility levels viz. control, 75% RDN + FYM @ 5 t/ha, 75% RDN + Vermicompost @ 2.5 t/ha, 75% RDN + Vermicompost @ 2.5 t/ha + FYM @ 2.5 t/ha and 100% RDN (156.25 kg N/ha). Higher value of growth and growth indices were observed with hybrid HHB 299 over HHB67(Improved). Significantly higher stover yield was recorded with the application of 75 percent recommended N + vermicompost @ 2.5 t/ha + FYM @ 2.5 t/ha over control and 100 per cent recommended N. However, it remained at par with all other fertility levels.
Key words: FYM, pearlmillet, stover yield, treated sewage water and vermicompost
