A field experiment was conducted to study the influence of crop geometry and age of seedlings on the productivity of finger millet during rabi, 2014- 15 at S.V Agricultural college farm, Tirupati. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design and replicated thrice. The results revealed that the yield attributes i.e, number of productive tillers m-2, thousand grain weight, length of the finger, grain yield, straw yield and harvest index were higher with transplanting of 15 days old seedlings at 20 cm × 20 cm with single seedling hill-1.The yield increase in finger millet with this treatment was 17.8 per cent higher compared to ANGRAU package.
