A field experiment was conducted to study the response of bajra hybrid (ABH-1) to spacing and nitrogen levels in alfisols of scarce rainfall zone under rainfed conditions during kharif, 2015-16 at Agricultural Research Station, Ananthapuramu. The experiment was laid out in Factorial RBD and replicated thrice. The results revealed that bajra sown at 60 × 15 cm produced higher growth, yield attributes, yield and economics. Among different nitrogen levels, application of 80 kg N ha-1 resulted in tallest plants and 60 kg N ha-1 produced higher drymatter production. Application of 100 kg N ha-1 produced higher leaf area and leaf area index, yield attributes whereas grain yield was higher with application of 60 kg N ha-1 and straw yield was higher with application of 80 kg N ha-1.
