To study the nutriseed pack application of nutrients on the yield of maize, a field experiment was conducted with following treatments viz., T1-Control; T2-100 per cent NPK-Surface application of fertilizers; T3, T4, T5 : 75, 100, and 125 per cent NPK-nutriseed pack (Plain); T6-100 per cent NPK-nutriseed pack (Furadan); T7-100 per cent NPK-nutriseed pack (neem); T8-100 per cent NPK-nutriseed pack (fertilizer + manure mixture).The results of the experiment indicated the nutriseed pack with furadan recorded the highest grain yield of 4489 kg ha-1 which was 13.2 per cent higher than surface broadcast, and stover yield of 7939 kg ha-1 which was 20.3 per cent higher than surface broadcast. On an average nutriseed pack with furadan recorded more number of grains per cob (248), number of grains/row (17.2), number of rows/cob (14.4), number of cobs/100 m2 (881).

Abstract


To study the nutriseed pack application of nutrients on the yield of maize, a field experiment was conducted with following treatments viz., T1-Control; T2-100 per cent NPK-Surface application of fertilizers; T3, T4, T5 : 75, 100, and 125 per cent NPK-nutriseed pack (Plain); T6-100 per cent NPK-nutriseed pack (Furadan); T7-100 per cent NPK-nutriseed pack (neem); T8-100 per cent NPK-nutriseed pack (fertilizer + manure mixture).The results of the experiment indicated the nutriseed pack with furadan recorded the highest grain yield of 4489 kg ha-1 which was 13.2 per cent higher than surface broadcast, and stover yield of 7939 kg ha-1 which was 20.3 per cent higher than surface broadcast. On an average nutriseed pack with furadan recorded more number of grains per cob (248), number of grains/row (17.2), number of rows/cob (14.4), number of cobs/100 m2 (881).
