The Effects of Different Nitrogen Doses on Yield and Some Traits of Foxtail Millet (Panicum italicum L.)

Abstract

This research was conducted to determine the effects of different nitrogen doses on yield and
some traits of foxtail millet (
Panicum italicum L.) in altitude of 1860 m Erzurum conditions. The experiment was
established in a randomized complete blocks design with four replications in 2013 and 2014. Five nitrogen doses
(0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 kg N da
-1) were used in this study. Plant height, dry matter yield, crude protein content and yield,
ADF and NDF content, biological yield, seed yield and harvest index were evaluated. Results of the study are
summarized as follows. Nitrogen doses had a signifcant effect on the yields and measured other traits except for
ADF and NDF ratios. They increased the plant height, dry matter yield, crude protein content and yield, biological
yield, seed yield and harvest index up to certain level. Plant height, dry matter yield, crude protein yield and seed
yield showed signifcant changes compared to the year. According to the mean of two years data, foxtail millet
should be fertilized with 6 kg N da
-1 for hay production and 3 kg N da-1 for seed production in Erzurum conditions.
