Use of Fertilizers and Lime for Enhancing Productivity of Maize Genotypes in Western Hill of Nepal / Adhikary, Bishnu H. in Nepal Agriculture Research Journal, Vol. 8 (2007)
[article]
Title : Use of Fertilizers and Lime for Enhancing Productivity of Maize Genotypes in Western Hill of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Adhikary, Bishnu H., Author ; Krishna B. Karki, Author Publication Date: 2007 Article on page: 42-49 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Agriculture lime, farmer's practice, yield increase, Zea mays Abstract: Farmers’ field experiment was conducted at Outreach sites in Tanahun and Palpa districts of
Western Nepal with the objectives of evaluating the effects of fertilizers and agricultural
lime on grain production of the local and improved (Manakamana-1) maize varieties during
summer season of year 2003 and 2004. Farmer's practice (without fertilizers) and with
fertilizer 60: 30: 30 kg (N: P2O5: K2O) per hectare with or without agricultural lime (4 t ha-
1), were the treatments in experimental study that was conducted in factorial RCB design
with four farmers as replications. The results revealed that response of fertilizers and
agricultural lime was observed significant plant growth and kernels production including
varieties in both sites of Palpa and Tanahun districts. The highest grain yield of 5.1 t ha-1 was
produced by the local variety when the crop was supplied with 60:30:30 kg N, P2O5 and K2O
ha-1 along with 4 t ha-1 of agricultural lime in Tanahun. Manakamana-1 variety produced the
maximum grain yield (4.45 t ha-1) with the same level of fertilization. The two district mean
grain yield result indicated that the highest grain yield of 3.9 t ha-1 was produced when the
crop was supplied with 60: 30: 30 kg N, P2O5 and K2O ha-1 with agri-lime. Hence it is
suggested that to increase maize productivity in the hills irrespective of the maize variety
application of fertilizers (60: 30: 30) with agricultural lime (4 t ha-1) is needed.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=26
