During the kharif of 2016, a field experiment was conducted on sandy loam soils of the dry land farm of S.V. Agricultural College, Tirupati, Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University on the sandy loam soils of the dry land farm of S.V. Agricultural College, Tirupati, Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University. The experiment included three replications and was set up in a randomised block design. There were eight treatments: control (T1), 100 percent RDF (60:30:30 kg ha-1 N:P2O5:K2O) (T2), 100 percent N via farm yard manure (FYM) (T3), 100 percent N via FYM + seedling treatment with biofertilizers (Azospirillum+ PSB) (T4), Seedling treatment with beejamruta + soil application of jeevamruta @ 500 l ha-1 T3 plus T6 (T8). 'Vakula' was the finger millet cultivar used in the study. Plant height, leaf area index, number of tillers m-2 and dry matter production at harvest, number of productive tillers m-2 and ear weight, yield, and economics of the finger millet crop were all shown to be significantly impacted by different sources of nutrients. Finally, the study found that using 100 percent of the prescribed nutrient dosage through fertilisers resulted in increased grain production and economic returns for finger millet. Among the various organic sources of nutrients tested, 100 percent N through FYM + seedling treatment with beejamruta + soil application of jeevamruta @ 500 l ha-1 just after transplanting and every 10 days up to 15 days before harvest (T7) was found to be the most promising integrated organic nutrient management practise for higher yield, economics, and soil biological activity as well as fertility for the sustenance of finger millet.
