Abstract: Prosomillet is a small-seeded grassy crop has ability to survive under adverse conditions like limited rainfall, poor soil fertility and land terrain making them an attractive crop for marginal farming environments. The experiment consisted of four priming treatment combinations viz., Control, hydropriming, biopriming with Pseudomonas fluorescens (20 %) and KH2PO4 (2%) with three levels of fertility (100%, 125 % and 150% RDF). Results were maximum in Pseudomonas fluorscens @ 20% (P3), 150% RDF (N3) and in combination of both Pseudomonas fluorscens @ 20% along with 150% RDF (P3N3) recorded with plant height 60 DAS (97.56, 95.78 and 99.83 cm), harvest (99.44, 101.18and 99.83 cm), Number of tillers 30 DAS(1.56, 1.50 and 1.67), 60 DAS and harvest (2.22, 2.25 and 2.25), Days to 50 % flowering (32.89, 35.58 and 38.67), Days to maturity (69.22, 69.92 and 70.00), Panicle length (27.78, 26.83 and 26.91 respectively.), panicle weight (33.99, 32.02 and 34.43g respectively.), seed yield (2.4, 1.96 and 2.50 q ha-1), fodder yield (5.78, 4.95 and 6.40 qha-1 respectively.), test weight (7.37, 6.48 and 7.62 g respectively.) and economics viz., gross returns (62317, 49944 and 65225), net returns (45887, 33873 and 48004) and B:C ratio (3.8, 2.9 and 3.8).
