Experiment was laid out in a factorial randomized block design Fertility levels and replicated thrice. The treatment comprised of three levels of fertility levels viz. F1 90 Plant population 45 45 kg NPK ha-1 F2 120 60 60 kg NPK ha-1 F3 150 75 75 kg NPK ha-1 four Pearl millet combinations of plant population and age of seedling T1 15 days old seedling at 50 Seedling age cm x 20 cm T2 15 days old seedling at 50 cm x 25 cm T 3 20 Days old seedling at 50 Yields cm x 20 cm and T4 20 days old seedling at 50 cm x 25 cm . Results revealed that Article Info application of 150 75 75 kg NPK ha-1 was recorded significantly grain t ha-1 but noted at par with 120 60 60 kg NPK ha-1. Among the levels of plant population and age of Accepted 18 May 2020 seedling T3 treatment had significantly higher grain yield t ha -1 net return Available Online ha and B C ratio but being statistically similar with T 1 treatment. 10 June 2020 Hence it may be concluded that to achieving higher crop productivity yield high yielding hybrids pearl millet cultivars could be grown with .
