EFFECT OF PLANT GEOMETRY AND NITROGEN LEVELS ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF SWE ET CORN (ZEA MAYS SACCHARATA L.)BRUDAM PRIYANKA, RAJESH SINGH AND EKTASINGHAbstract The field experiment was conducted during kharif season, 2020 at crop research farm Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Praygraj (U.P). the experiment was laid out in randomized block design with nine treatments replicated thrice with the different spacing (60 Ã 15 cm, 45 Ã 20 cm and 30 Ã 30 cm)with different combination of treatments as follows 90 kg/ha, 100 kg/ha, 120kg/ha of nitrogen,application of levels with spacing significantly influenced the growth parameters, yield attributes and yield at 80 DAS Along with spacing 45Ã20 cm recorded highest plant height (152.5 cm), numbers of leaves (12.1), crop growth rate (61.8), and maximum dry weight (166.8g) whereas numbers of cobs per plant (1.7cm), length of cobs per plant (16.8 cm), girth of cob (15.68 cm), no.of grain row per cob (13.6), no of seeds per row (35.7), no. of grains per cob (511), green cob yield (4.42) and stover yield (4.78) was recorded significantly higher in treatment with 45Ã20cm +120kg N/ha. |
