Abstract
A field experiment was conducted at the Instructional cum Research (ICR) Farm, AAU, Jorhat during the Sali season (2022-23) with a view “Performance of finger millet varieties (Eleusine coracana L.) In different establishment methods”. The experiment was laid out in Factorial RBD which was replicated thrice. The treatments consisted of 4 (Four) establishment methods viz., broadcasting (M1), line sowing (M 2), transplanting (M 3), and SFMI {System of finger millet intensification} (M4) and 3 (Three) varieties namely- GPU-67 (V 1), CFMV-2 (V 2) and AAU-GSG-Maruvadhan(V 3). Based on results obtained from the present investigation, it was concluded that finger millet grown in the transplanting method with a combination of CFMV-2 variety must obtain higher growth, yield, and quality parameters of finger millet.
