Field experiment was conducted during 1997-'96 and 1998-'99 at Agricultural Research Station, Hanumanamatti of University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad to know the effect of tillage practices, organics, nitrogen levels and their interactions on growth and yield of foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) during kharif. Among tillage practices, medium tillage and ridging recorded significantly higher yield attributes at harvest. Ear length, mean panicle weight, yield per plant, grain number per panicle, thousand seed weight, Threshing percentage and grain yield were significantly superior in medium tillage end ridging treatment. Among organics, enriched FYM + Azospirillum recorded significantly higher yield parameters followed by Glyricidia green manuring. Application of 60 kg N/ha enhanced the yield parameters over 30 and 0 kg N/ha. Medium tillage and ridging with enriched FYM + Azospirillum + 60 kg N/ha recorded significantly higher grain yield (2044 kg/ha). Next pest was medium tillage and ridging with Giyricidia green manuring + 60 kg N/ha (1 869 kg/ha).
