Field experiments were conducted at the Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture collaboration with Hill Millet Research Station, NAU, Waghai, during Kharif season of three years of 2013 to 2016 to study the response different varieties of finger millet (Nagli) to integrated nutrient management under rainfed condition. The results revealed that, the grain yield recorded under treatment N2 were 2502, 1870, 2628 and 2378 kg/ha during 2013-14, 2015-16, 2016-17 and in pooled results, respectively. Significantly higher straw yield was recorded under the treatment N2 during all the years of experimentation as well as in pooled analysis but remained at par with treatment N1 and N3 during 2nd and 3rd year of experimentation. Interaction effect of variety and nitrogen levels was found to be non-significant during all four years of experimentation and in pooled analysis. The Economics of the application of 75% recommended dose of fertilizer + vermicompost @ 2 t/ha realized more net income of Rs. 59001/- than rest of nitrogen levels.
