In order to identify the best nutrient management option through liquid organic manures on finger millet, a pot experiment was conducted at Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Educational and Research Institute, Jharkhand during monsoon season of 2023 using 6 liquid manure options applied 15, 30, 45 and 60 days after transplanting (DAT) along with a control (LM0: control/no liquid manure, LM1: Jeevamrit, LM2: Panchagavya, LM3: Kunapajala, LM4: Sasyagavya, LM5: Jeevamrit + Panchagavya, LM6: Kunapajala + Sasyagavya @20%) in a completely randomized design, replicated thrice. The findings expressed that liquid manures performed better than the control in realizing better growth, yield and quality of finger millet. Mixed application of Jeevamrit and Panchagavya @20% (LM5) recorded the best growth, yield attributes, resulting in the highest grain yield (9.5 g plant-1), straw yield (18.4 g plant-1 and harvest index (34.0%). This treatment also ensured the highest grain protein (9.7%) of finger millet. Like LM5, combined application of Kunapajala and Sasyagavya @20 per cent (LM6) also ensured statistically similar growth, yield attributes, grain yield (8.8 g plant-1), straw yield (17.7g plant-1), harvest index (33.1%) and grain protein (9.4%) of finger millet. Therefore, millet growers of Jharkhand, India can cultivate finger millet during monsoon season using mixed application of either Jeevamrit and Panchagavya (1:1) or Kunapajala and Sasyagavya (1:1) @ 20 per cent at 15, 30, 45 and 60 DAT.
