Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at Bichpuri, Agra, during 1990-93 on sandy loam soil low in available N, medium in available P and high in available K. The highest productivity and profitability of pearlmillet [Pennisetum glaucum L.1- wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori & Paol.) sequence could be sustained when both crops in sequence were fertilized separately with 120 kg N, 40 kg P,O, and 40 kg &O/ha, registering highest net return (Rs 10,364Iha) and B :C ratio (Rs 1.12). The fertilizer application at higher levels resulted in building up of the fertility of the soil.
