Integrated Nutrient Management influencing the yield and growth of Maize (Zea mays L.) in Central India
Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: Increasing worldwide demand for food items with limited per capita land for cropping will be a major challenge. Corn (Zea mays L.) is one of the world's most important cereal crops, second only to wheat and rice. To increase crop output and maintain soil health, Integrated Nutrient Management combines chemical fertilizers with organic manures through a biological process. An integrated plant nutrient supply system could aid in achieving balanced fertilization goals, which would improve the soil's physicochemical qualities on a long-term basis. The treatment T2 (100 percent N2 through Urea + Boron @ 3 kg. ha-1 ) has emerged superior over other treatments and shows better growth, yield, followed by T14 (50 percent N2 through Urea + 25 percent N2 through FYM + 25 percent N2 through Azotobactor @ 3 kg. ha-1 ), while the treatment T4 (50 percent N2 through Urea + 25 percent N2 through FYM + 25 percent N2 through Azotobactor @ 3 kg. ha-1 ).
