Action taken report
Suggestion Action taken
Experiments on organic cultivation practices
need to be conducted.
Experiment on organic cultivation practices is
formulated
Developed POPs in millets need to be
publicized among the farmers.
Popularization of technology has been done
with extension officials, farmers and publications
Fortification with seed priming or soil treatment
may benefit the farmers and hence experiments
need to be planned.
Experiments in the coming year is planned
Experiments on irrigation requirement (ex. drip
irrigation in Guli method) can be conducted.
Action has been initiated, project proposal will
be submitted in due course
New packages may be developed with the
generated data from agronomy experiments.
A publication on generated data from the
agronomy experiment, new packages will be
initiated
Latest checks to be included in Agronomy trials. In all agronomy trials and FLD latest check is
compulsory

Grain yield (kg/ha) Straw yield (kg/ha) B:C ratio
•From the economic point of view kodo millet followed by brown top
millet found more enumerative than barnyard and proso millet
•Nutrient uptake also was higher with brown top millet followed by
barnyard millet
•The grain yield obtained at 30 kg/ha was found on par with potassium
at 20 kg/ha
•K @ 20 kg/ha was found more economical and highly productive over
other levels and showed higher nutrient uptake

compared to all except T2 and T7
• Straw yield @ T2, T10,T9,T6 found on par
•T2,T1 had higher net return and B:C ratio
compared to T10
•Good performance was also sustained by
lesser weed density and higher weed control
efficiency

• Less weed density and less weed index
• Higher weed control efficiency• Effective control of sedges,
