A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural and Horticultural Research Station, Bavikere, University of Agricultural and Horticultural Sciences, Shivamogga during kharif 2019 to study the influence of cob rind biochar on growth, yield and nutrient uptake by finger millet. The experiment was conducted with 10 treatments consisting two levels of biochar at 2 and 4 t ha-1 and three levels of FYM at 5, 7.5 and 10 t ha-1 which were applied in combination with FYM or alone along with recommended dose of fertilizer. Treatments were imposed in randomized complete block design and were replicated thrice. The results revealed that application of higher dose of cob rind biochar @ 4 t ha-1 in combination with 100 per cent recommended dose of FYM and fertilizers recorded significantly higher growth and yield attributes such as plant height (115.20 cm), number of tillers hill-1 (3.35), dry matter production (55.20), number of ear heads hill-1 (4.56), number of fingers ear head-1 (7.73), test weight (3.68), grain yield (40.88 q ha-1) and straw yield (62.82 q ha-1) of finger millet compared to lower doses of biochar with or without FYM and control.
