An experiment on synchronizing of nitrogen requirement in maize (Zea mays) /millet (Eleusine coracana Geartn) relay cropping system was carried out in the Hill Crop Research Program. (HCRP), Kahre, (1740 mas/), Do/akha during the summer season of 2000 and 2001 to identify the optimum time of nitrogen application for higher yield of both crops in mid hill condition of Nepal. In addition to 10 ton compost, chemica/fertilizer was applied @60:30:30 NPK kg/ha in all treatments. Compost was incorporated in the soil at the time of land preparation and all phosphorus and potash was applied at the time of maize planting. Splitting of nitrogen and time of its application was done to make eight different treatments and nitrogen was applied accordingly. The experiment was conducted in a RCB design with four replications in 6.0 m2 plots. The highest maize grain yield (5951 kg/ha) was produced by the treatment T2 followed by (5680 kg/ha) with the treatment TB. The lowest maize grain yield (4327 kg/ha) was obtained by T1. Likewise, the highest finger millet grain yield (977 kg/ha) was produced by T6followed by (906 kg/ha) with the treatment T2. The lowest millet grain yield (715 kglha) was
obtained in the treatment T1.
