| Abstract: |
Fertilizers can help produce double or even triple crop yields. By applying the correct amounts of fertilizer nutrients, crop growth and yields are increased. The response of fertilizer nutrients to maize differs from variety to variety (genotypes) and soil fertility status of the area. To evaluate the effects of fertilizer nutrients on the maize genotypes, experiments were conducted in the farmland of NMRP, Rampur during the 3 consecutive years (2005 to 2007). Arun-4, Population -44 C10 (Shitala) , Uphar and ZM 621 (recently released in the name Deutee) were the varieties and six levels of fertilizer and manures were taken for the study. The results showed significant effects of fertilizer nutrients on the crop yield. The three years mean results revealed that highest grain yield of 6.42 t/ha was produced by the Uphar variety when the crop was supplied with 150 : 80 : 60 kg of N, P2O5 and K2O /ha which showed the highest yield increment of 167.5 % over Deutee variety at zero level of manures and fertilizer nutrients. This paper discuss and highlights the response of fertilizers and manures on crop growth characters and yield of different maize genotypes.
