Effect of Variable Rates of Nitrogen and Phosphorus on Growth and Yield of Maize (Golden)

Abstract

Abst ract : Plant height was significantly affected by the variable rates of N and T (150-120-60) treatment 5 produced the tallest plants than other treatments. The number of cobs plantG was significantly different from 1 treatment T (150-120-60). The average grain weight (1000-grain weight) was maximum in T treatment which 5 4 was at par with treatments T and T. Grain yield of maize was significantly enhanced by T treatment than other 3 5 4 treatment except for T treatment where it was statistically at par overall, average grain yield of 12.6 t haG was 5 1 obtained under the conditions of this experiment.
