Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during kharif, 2019 at College farm, College of Agriculture, Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad. The soil of the experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, neutral in soil reaction, low in available nitrogen and organic carbon, low in available phosphorus and high in available potassium. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with 14 treatments and each treatment replicated thrice. Among the two varieties tested viz., SiA 3085 and SiA 3156, there were no significant difference in yield and economics of foxtail millet, both the varieties performed equally and found to be equally effective and remunerative in response to different organic and inorganic sources of nutrients. Among integrated nutrient management practices, 25% RDN through Vermicompost + 75% RDF and 50% RDN through Vermicompost + 50% RDF recorded significantly higher grain and straw yield over other combinations of organic and inorganic treatments. From economics point of view 25% RDN through Vermicompost + 75% RDF found to be more remunerative.
