The treatments consisted of three planting geometry <em>viz.,</em> 20 cm × 20 cm, 25 cm × 25 cm and 30 cm × 30 cm and three NPK levels <em>viz</em>., 75%, 100% and 125%. The experiment was conducted in randomized block design with nine numbers of treatments and replicated thrice. The results showed that treatment with 30 cm × 30 cm spacing at 125 % NPK /ha growth parameters <em>viz., </em>maximum plant height (69.73 cm), number of tillers per plant (17.36 g/plant), dry weight per plant (7.36 g) while yield were recorded highest with treatment 20 cm × 20 cm spacing at 125 % NPK /ha. <em>viz.,</em> Grain yield (45.76 t/ha), Straw yield (4.33 t/ha) and harvest index (44.91) of finger millet at harvest. This may due to the highest plant population with close spacing treatment and higher number of heads/ m<sup>2</sup> as compare with wide spacing.</strong></p> <p> </p>}, number={3}, journal={Environment Conservation Journal}, author={Kumar, Rajan and C., Umesha and Sanodiya, Lalit Kumar and Dwivedi, Ravi Kumar and Kumar, Shubham and Meshram, Mayur}, year={2022}, month={Sep.}, pages={233–239} }
