Modeling the Growth and Yield of Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum) Crop

Abstract

Millet is one of the important foods for Pakistan. It has many uses in food products as well as a forage crop. Crop models are useful in agro-meteorological research for checking scientific hypotheses, highlighting where information is missing, arranging data, and analyzing transversely disciplines. To envisage crop presentation in areas where the crop has not been tested earlier or not planted below mainly constructive situations, crop growth models are used. Pearl millet has advanced nitrogen use efficiency than numerous other crops because raising the velocity of nitrogen fertilization does not forever go with a subsequent enlargement in grain yield. Considerable results among several growth characters of pearl millet for example forage yield and plant height increased by increasing nitrogen fertilization rates. The increase in yield with increased nitrogen levels was mainly associated with increased stem diameter, number of leaves/plants, and plant height. Considerable results among several growth characters of pearl millet for example forage yield and plant height increased by increasing nitrogen fertilization rates. The increase in yield with increased nitrogen levels was mainly associated with increased stem diameter, number of leaves/plants, and plant height.  Results showed that more application of nitrogen fertilizer produced more thousand-grain weight, which in result produced more grain. it is concluded that nitrogen levels and different cultivars have a significant effect on the growth and yield of pearl millet.
