Optimizing nutrient management for Kodo millet (Paspalum scrobiculatum L.) in the Alfisols of Southern India through modeling soil, plant, and fertilizer interactions by Krishna Murthy Rangaiah, Bhavya Nagaraju, Govinda Kasturappa, Basavaraja Pujari Kadappa, Uday Kumar Sugaturu Narayanaswamy, Mohamed Saqeebulla Hussain Sab, Gangamrutha Godekere Veerabadraiah, Sanjay Srivastava, Pradip Dey

“…The STCR NPK + FYM approach for the targeted yield of 1700 kg ha–1 resulted in a higher grain yield (1710 kg ha–1), which was significantly greater than the general recommended dose and soil fertility rating approach. The developed STCR equations are valid, as the percent deviation of the grain yield from the targeted yield was within ± 10%. …”
