The present study was aimed to evaluate the influence of seedling age and planting pattern on grain and straw yield, labour productivity, and economics of transplanted finger millet (Eleusine coracana L. Gaertn.) by conducting the field experiment at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore during Kharif, 2019 (July to November). The experiment was laid out in split-plot design and each treatment was replicated thrice. It consisted of three seedling ages viz., 14, 17, and 20 days (old seedlings) as main plot factor and four planting patterns viz., rectangular (30 cm × 10 cm) and square (25 cm × 25 cm) planting with one and two number of seedlings per hill as subplot factor. From the experimental results, yield, labour productivity, and economics of finger millet differed due to seedling age and planting pattern. Transplanting of 20 days old seedlings under rectangular planting (30 cm × 10 cm) with two seedlings per hill recorded higher grain yield, straw yield, labour productivity, gross return, net return, and B:C ratio. Younger seedlings of 14 days old transplanted under rectangular planting (30 cm × 10 cm) with two seedlings per hill recorded a higher cost of cultivation.
