e0“an experiment was conducted on farmer's field for three years (2002−2004) at Malipungar watershed in the Koraput district of Odisha, India”
e1“crops, such as finger millet (Eleusine coracana L. Gaertn)”
e6“Overall, the treatment receiving 50% recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF), Gliricidia at 2.5 t ha−1, and 2.5 kg ha−1 each of Azotobactor and phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (PSB) as soil inoculants (INM7) produced the highest grain yield (3.95 t ha−1), net returns (US$ 400 ha−1), and highest benefit:cost ratio (2.39)”

Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Gliricidia-amended plots gave greater yield and net returns than FYM-amended plots.
- Intervention effect Soil moisture and bulk density were comparable between Gliricidia and FYM plots at the end of the experiment.
- Intervention effect Soil pH, organic carbon and phosphorus were comparable between Gliricidia and FYM plots at the end of the three-year experiment.
- Intervention effect Residual N and K were significantly higher in Gliricidia-amended plots.
- Intervention effect The INM7 combination produced the highest net returns, US$ 400 ha−1.
- Intervention effect The INM7 combination produced the highest benefit:cost ratio, 2.39.
- Association The year by INM interaction was significant for growth parameters and straw yield.
- Intervention effect INM7 was significantly better than most other INM treatments for growth parameters and straw yield in two of three years.
- Recommendation Integrated use of 50% RDF, Gliricidia and bio-fertilizers is recommended for improving finger millet productivity in eastern India.
