Investigations to study the "Response of foxtail millet to tillage practices, organics and nitrogen levels during kharif in shallow alfisols were carried out during 1997-98 and,1998-99 at Agricultural Research Station, HanumanamattL Among different tillage practices, medium tillage and ridging recorded significantly higher grain yield (1307kg/ha) by 8.10, 17.21 and 27.38 per cent, respectively over medium tillage with flat bed sowing, shallow tillage and ridging and shallow tillage with flat bed sowing. Among different organic sources, enriched FYM + Azoypirillum recorded significantly higher grain yield (1395 kg/ha) by 3.71 and 21.10 per cent over application of Glyricidia and enriched FYM, respectively. Application of 60 kg N/ha recorded significantly higher grain yield (1407 kg/ha) by 16 and 60 per cent over 30 and 0 kg N/ha. Medium tillage and ridging with enriched FYM + Azospsrillum + 60 kg N/ha recorded significantly higher grain yield (2044 kg/ha) and next best was medium tillage and ridging with Glyricidia green manuring + 60 kg N/ha (1869 kg/ha).
