Response of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) to applied nitrogen and stover management on succeeding wheat (Triticum aestivum)

The data of a 2-year field experiment showed that grain yield of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br. emend. Stuntz] was increased by 5.3 q/ha owing to increasing N level by 120 kg/ha, whereas grain yield of succeeding wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori & Paol.) was increased by 4.9 and 3.6 q/ha owing to higher dose of N applied to pearl millet and incorporation of pearl millet stover @ 10 tonnes/ha respectively. All the growth parameters responded to residual effect of applied N and pearl millet stover management.
