2.5: Planting geometry in small millets

Guni method of Ragi cultivation

Visited three locations in Tumkur and four locations in Dharwad districts of GuniRagi cultivation and two group meetings were held in each district to know thefeedback from farmers on Guni method of cultivation in Ragi

Sri.K.S.Ramesh s/o N.Shivananjappa, Karikere, Thiruvekere Taluk, Tumkur District

The observation on some of the plant characters were recorded in different cultivation methodsi.e., guni method, seed drill and broadcasting and are as shown below.
