Abstract:
An experiment was conducted to assess the “effect of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers on yield attributes and shelling percentage of high quality protein maize (Zea mays L.) to under South Saurashtra agroclimatic zone of Gujarat” during summer, 2016 at the department of agronomy, college of agriculture, JAU, Junagadh. The results revealed that application of 150 kg N/ha significantly higher yield attributes viz., number of cobs plant^-1, cob length, cob girth, number of grains cob^-1, number of rows cob^-1 and shelling percentage over control and 90 kg N/ha, while at par with 120 kg N/ha. Result showed that application of 60 kg P₂O₅/ha significantly higher number of cobs plant^-1, cob length, cob girth, number of grains cob^-1 and number of rows cob^-1 and shelling percent, being remained at par with 45 kg P₂O₅ /ha over control.
