Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Growth and Yield of Maize (Zea mays L.)

The study entitled Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Growth and Yield of Maize (Zea mays L.) was conducted at Agricultural Research Farm, School of Agriculture, Suresh GyanVihar University, Jagatpura, Jaipur, during Kharif season 2018. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with Three replication comprising Ten integrated nutrient management treatments viz. 100% RDF (T1), 50% RDF (T2), 100% RDF + Vermicompost (T3), 50% RDF +Vermicompost (T4), 100% RDF + FYM (T5), 50% RDF + FYM (T6), 50% RDF +25% Vermicompost + 25% + FYM + 25kg ZnSo4 (T7), 50% RDF +50% Vermicompost + 50% FYM (T8), 100% RDF + 25% Vermicompost + 25% FYM +25 kg ZnSo4(T9) and 100% RDF + 50% Vermicompost + 50% FYM (T10). On the basis of results revealed that among ten treatment 100% RDF + 25% Vermicompost + 25% FYM + 25kg ZnSo4 (T9) is significantly recorded maximum growth parameters like plant height (cm), Leaf area index, Dry matter accumulation , Crop growth rate and yield parameters grain yield , Stover yield and Harvest index.
