Abstract
The results of a 2-year (1988 and 1989) field experiment showed that a pplication of 120 kg N/ha gave significantly higher forage yield by 34 .5% over no N in pearlmillet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br. emend. St untz]. A seed rate of 12 kg/ha gave significantly higher forage yield (60.13 tonnes/ha), which was at par with that obtained from 16 kg seed rate/ha. Green-forage yield significantly reduced at 8 and 20 kg/ha s eed rate.
