Abstract
A field experiment to evaluate the effect of 0, 50, 100 and 150 kg N ha on pearl millet sown at seeding rate of 10, 15 and 20 kg ha was conducted at Agronomic Research area, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan. Nitrogen application significantly increased the green fodder and dry matter yield due to increased plant height, stem diameter and number of leaves per plant. Crude protein and crude fibre contents were also increased due to an increase in nitrogen level. However, increase in nitrogen level decreased the ash percentage. Nitrogen application of 100 and 150 kg ha produced statistically similar green fodder yield (79.37 and 79.74 t ha, respectively). Increase in seed rate significantly increased the plant density, plant height, green and dry matter yield and dry matter contents but decreased the stem diameter. The number of leaves per plant, crude fibre, crude protein and ash contents were decreased with increased seed rate but not to a significant level. Pear millet sown at seed rate of 20 kg ha and receiving 100 kg N ha seems to be the best combination for getting higher green fodder yield of “BY-18” under Faisalabad conditions.
