Abstract: Field experiment was conducted during kharif 2006 and 2007 at Zonal Agricultural Research Station, Mandya to study the effect of different establishment methods and organic nutrient sources on productivity of finger millet. Soil of the experimental site was red sandy loam in texture, low in organic carbon (0.43%) and available nitrogen (270.60kg ha-1), medium in available P2O5 (32.25kg ha-1) and K2O (149.80kg ha-1). Treatment consisted of 12 treatment combinations two main plot treatments of methods of cultivations (puddled and aerobic soil condition), six nutrient sources in sub plot (T1: Recommended fertilizer dose (FYM 10t+100:50:50 N:P2O5:K2Okg ha-1), T2: FYM@125kg N equivalent+25% of recommended N equivalent poultry manure as top dressing, T3: Pressmud 125kg N equivalent+25% of recommended N equivalent poultry manure as top dressing, T4: Poultry manure 125kg N equivalent + 25% of recommended N equivalent poultry manure as top dressing, T5: Sewage sludge 125kg N equivalent+25% of recommended N equivalent poultry manure as top dressing, T6: Urban compost 125 kg N equivalent+25% of recommended N equivalent poultry manure as top dressing) were laid out in split plot design with three replications.
