A field experiment was condected during kharif seasons of 1997 and 1998 to study the comparative efficiency of different levels of nitrogen on the yield of finger millet under rainfed condition. The results showed that the variety Sapthagiri proved superior to PPR 2679 and PPR 2709, with regard to seed yield. Finger millet varieties responded significantly upto 40 kg N ha-1 under rainfed condition. The economic optimum level of N was worked out to be 46.8 and 55.5 kg N ha-1 during 1997 and 1998, respectively.
