Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during winter (rabi) season 2008–09 at experimental farm, Department of Agronomy, Allahabad Agricultural Institute, Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. The experiment was carried out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) consisted 15 treatments and 3 replications. Amongst the various treatments, T13 [Popcorn maize (100% RDN) + Rajmash (100% RDN) paired row 2: 2] performed better than other treatmentsby producing number of leavesplant−1, plant height (cm), dry matter accumulation (g), stem girth (g) of popcorn maize, along with plant height (cm), number of leaves plant−1, number of branches plant−1 and dry matter accumulation (g) of rajmash.
