| S.N | Technology Developed |
|---|---|
| 1 | Seed rate of 15 kg/ha along with one interculture operation at 20 DAS and one hand weeding at 40 DAS resulted higher grain yield of barnyard millet (PRJ-1) under rain fed condition of Uttarakhand hills. |
| 2 | Finger millet + Horse gram (4:2) followed by Finger millet + Horse gram (4:1) are more profitable than sole cropping of finger millet under rainfed condition of Uttarakhand hills. |
| 3 | The pre-emergent application of Oxadiargyl 80 WP at 200g a.i./ha within (3 days) with one intercultivation at 25-30 DAS or Bispyribac sodium 10 SC at 10 g a.i./ha (15-20 DAS) + one intercultivation at 35-40 DAS in finger millet was found as the feasible and most effective option to go for integrated weed management practice for sustainability. |
| 4 | VL 172 of Barnyard millet with FYM 7.5 tons can be used under organic production system of mid hills of Uttarakhand. |
| 5 | When barnyard crop is supplied with 100 or 85% RDF with liquid biofertilizer through soil and seed treatment was found economically feasible for enhancing the crop productivity. |
