Abstract:
Oat and Maize (Zea mays L) are important food and fodder crops widely used in India. To assess the residual effect of application of organic manure and bio-fertilizer in oat crop on growth and yield of maize, experiment was conducted during 2009-10 and 2010-11 at AS College Lakhoati, Bulednsahar, Uttar Pradesh. The treatments consisting of three oat varieties and nine integrated nutrient management (INM) combinations for oat crop was laid out in factorial Randomised Block Design during rabi season and its residual effect on maize crop was observed during kharif season for both the years. Plant height, 1000- grain weight and seed yield of maize was significantly influenced by the different Oat varieties and nutrient management in preceding oat crop.
