Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during two consecutive Kharif (2016 and 2017) at Students’ Instructional Farm, Department of Agronomy, C. S. Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur. The main objective of the experiment was to assess the effect of land configuration and nutrient management on the yield attributes and yield of the maize grown during Kharif. The experiment consisted of five land configurations viz., broadcasting, flat sowing, flat followed by earthing, narrow bed and furrow & broad bed & furrow in main plot and four nutrient management practices viz., basal + top dressing of N in two splits, basal + foliar spray of N in two splits, basal + N through LCC and basal dose of P & K + N through LCC only in sub plot and was laid out in split plot design with three replications. The soil of experimental site was sandy loam in texture, low in organic carbon and available Nitrogen, medium in available Phosphorous and Potassium with almost normal in reaction.
The hybrid variety (DKC9144) was sown as per treatment in plant geometry (50×25cm) maintained by thinning. The observations were recorded on growth, yield attributes and yield. The results revealed that broad bed and furrow method produced significantly maximum biological (197.3 q ha-1), grain (69.0 q ha-1) and stover (128.2 q ha-1) yields, as compared to the seeds sown through broad casting and flat sowings during both the years and in pooled analysis. The application of nutrients through basal + N through LCC also recorded significantly the highest biological (193.5 q ha-1), grain (67.4 q ha-1) and stover (126.1 q ha-1) yields, as compared to the application of basal P & K + N through LCC only.
