A field experiment was conducted during Zaid season 2020 at Crop Research Farm (CRF), Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (UP) on sandy loam soil to investigate the effect of different spacing and nutrient sources on growth and yield of Zaid finger millet. The treatments consisted of spacing viz., 20 cm x 10 cm, 30 cm x 10 cm and 40 cm x 10 cm and nutrient sources viz., 100% RDN, 100% N through vermicompost and 50% RDN + 50% N through vermicompost whose effect is observed on finger millet (var. Godra-OT). The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with nine treatments replicated thrice. Study revealed that spacing 20 cm x 10 cm + 50% RDN + 50% N through vermicompost recorded significantly higher plant height (93.95 cm), number of tillers/running row meter (36.69) and plant dry weight (12.82 g) at harvest stage as compared to all the treatment combinations. The spacing 20 cm x 10 cm + 50% RDN + 50% N through vermicompost also recorded significantly higher number of grains/ear head (1912.35), number of fingers/ear head (6.41), fingers length (9.04 cm), grain yield (2.74 t/ha) and biological yield (7.41 t/ha) as compared to all the treatment combinations.
