Abstract

Application of FYM up to 30 t ha−1 increased growth characters and its application up to 20 t ha−1 improved the yield attributes The grain yield of maize showed significant improvement with FYM application up to 20 t ha−1 while stover yield increased significantly up to 30 t ha−1. Application of FYM in kharif and rabi seasons recorded significantly higher growth characters, yield attributes and grain and stover yield of maize over its application during rabi season only.
