Abstract:
The experiment was conducted at Student Instructional Farm, C. S. Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur during kharif and rabi seasons of 2018-19 and 2019-20. There were eight treatments combinations i.e., T1: LCC 3, T2: LCC 4, T3: LCC 5, T4: CCM 30, T5: CCM 35, T6: CCM 40, T7:100% RDN as 3 splits (2:1:1) at basal, knee height and tasseling stage and T8: 75% RDN as 3 equal splits at basal, knee height and tasseling stage. The experiment was laid out in RBD with four replication on silt loam soil with low organic carbon (0.43%) available nitrogen (161.43 kg ha-1) and available phosphorus (14.71 kg ha-1) while medium in potassium (240.33 kg ha-1), respectively. Numerous treatments significantly influenced the yield of maize during both the years as well as in pooled analysis. Among all the treatment tested, treatment T3 (LCC 5, i.e. application of 30 kg N ha-1 based on LCC critical value 5) recorded significantly higher yield during the years 2019, 2020 and on pooled basis. Treatment T3 (LCC 5, i.e. application of 30 kg N ha-1 based on LCC critical value 5) found to be superior with respect to yield over rest of the treatments. The yield components like grain protein content, N, P, K content as well as N, P, K uptake in grain and stover were maximum with the treatment T3 (LCC 5, i.e. application of 30 kg N ha-1 based on LCC critical value 5) and found to be greater over other treatments during the years 2019, 2020 and on pooled basis.
