Abstract
The genetic variation in straw quality of fingermillet and the effects of locationf management and NPK fertilization on quality of fingermillet straw was studied in four experiments. In experiment I, 42 cultivars of 3 genetic groups differing in days to maturity (Short, Medium and Late) were studied to assess the genetic variability. The short duration cultivars had significantly (P < 0.01) higher N content, lower NDF content, higher IVOMD and IVNDFD than the medium and late duration cultivars. The IVNDFD of leaves was significantly (P < 0.01) higher than that of stems. In experiment II, 21 cultivars grown at three locations with different soil and climatic conditions showed a wide difference in grain production, height, stem weight, OM and NDF content and IVNDFD of straw. In experiment III, three cultivars were harvested from anthesis to grain maturity or were kept as a standing crop for ten days after maturity. Straw harvested at maturity was also stored under roof over a period of 5 months. NDF content increased (P < 0.05) with plant maturity, and kept increasing during storage. The IVOMD and IVNDFD declined with age before or after harvest (P < 0.05). In Experiment IV, application of NPK ( 0 : 0 : 0 , 50 : 25 : 25 and 100 : 50 : 50) increased the total biomass production per hectare without altering the harvest index of three genetically different cultivars (Indaf-8, PR-202, and Hullubele). The OM content and IVOMD remained unchanged, while the NDF content and IVNDFD decreased (P < 0.01) with increasing level of NPK. The traditional variety (Hullubele) known for fodder production had a bettter straw IVOMD than the improved varieties. It was concluded, that the quality of fingermillet straw in terms of IVOMD was affected by parameters such as genotype, location, moment of harvest, storage and fertilization.
