  Juniper Publishers-Open Access Journal of Environmental Sciences & Natural Resources Production Potential of Improved pearlmillet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) Cultivars under Staggered Sowing in Raifed Areas of Western India Authored by HM Bhuva Abstract Performance of 8 pearlmillet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) cultivars, viz. ( 6 hybrids, (‘MH 2114’, ‘MH 2106’, ‘MH 2107’, ’MH 2155’, ‘MPMH 17’ and ‘KBH 108’) and 2 varieties, viz.( ‘MP 570’ and ‘Pusa 383’) was evaluated under 3 sowing dates (10-15 July, 25-30 July and 10-15 August) at the Pearlmillet Research Station, Jamnagar, Gujarat, India during kharif season of 2017, to find out the production potential of pearlmillet cultivars under staggered sowing in raifed area of Western India. The growth and yield attributes in 10-15 July sown crop recorded higher values than late sowings. The crop sown on 10-15 July gave significantly higher grain yield ( 3069 kg/ha) and stover (6696 kg/ha) yields, net returns (36591 Rs/ha), benefit: cost ra...
