Abstract
The percentage and rate of seedling emergence of pearl millet [P. americanum] decreased with increasing soil crust strength and was higher with 2 seeds than with 1 seed/hole. Emergence was lower when simulated rain occurred 2 or 26 h after sowing than when it occurred 50 h after sowing. Higher soil m.c. at sowing increased emergence under crusted conditions; the effect was greater with 1 seed than with 2 seeds/hole. Wheat chaff, rice husks or FYM applied in strips over the rows increased the percentage and rate of emergence significantly. Mixing FYM with the soil before sowing had little effect on emergence. DM and grain yields were significantly higher with wheat straw mulch, gypsum, FYM or rice husks applied in strips, coarse tilth, mechanical breaking of the crust or FYM mixed with the soil and on uncrusted plots than on the crusted control plots. Yields after ridge sowing were similar to those from the wheat chaff or rice husk treatments.
