Title : Use of Sulphur and Agricultural Lime for Enhanced Maize (Zea mays L.) Productivity in Acid Soils of Rampur, Chitwan Material Type: printed text Authors: Adhikary, Bishnu H., Author ; Babu R. Pandey, Author ; B.R. Baral, Author Publication Date: 2010 General note: In: Proceedings of the 26th National Summer Crops Research Workshop.pp 307-312. Summer crops Research in Nepal.Organized by Nepal Agricultural Research Council (NARC) held at National Maize Research Programme (NMRP), Rampur, Chitwan on 3-5 March, 2010 (19-21 falgoon, 2066). Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Agricultural lime; acid soils; maize productivity; significant effect sulphur levels; Zea mays Abstract: Field experiments were conducted during the winter seasons of the year 2007/08 and 2008/09 on an acid soils of the NMRP research farm. The objective of the study was to identify the appropriate doses of sulphur and agricultural lime on maize crop and their recommendation for its increased productivity. Three levels of sulphur (0, 20 and 40 kg S ha-1) and 4 levels of agricultural lime (0, 2.5, 3.75 and 5 t ha-1) were used in the study. A factorial RCB design with 3 replications was employed in the experiment. The variety used was Deutee and the plot size was 22.5 sq.m (5 m x 4.5 m). The crop was fertilized with 120:60:40 kg ha-1 of N, P2O5 and K2O, and 10 t ha-1 of compost, respectively. The highest grain yield (6.86 t ha-1) was recorded in the 1st year (2007/08) when 5 t ha-1 of agricultural lime and 40 kg of sulphur (S) was applied. In the following year (2008/09), the mean effect of S levels indicated a sharp response at only 20 kg ha-1 which produced an yield of 7.84 t of grains ha-1., whereas the mean effect of lime use revealed only the production of 7.55 t ha-1 of grains in the same year when the crop was supplied with 2.5 t ha-1 of agricultural lime. It is noticed that the response of sulphur and agricultural lime on maize grain production was found to be significant in both of the years. Farmers are suggested to apply at least 20 kg of sulpher along with 2.5 t ha-1 of agricultural lime on maize for increased grain production.

Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Combined analysis; maize genotypes; manures and fertilizers; quality protein zea mays. Abstract: Four improved maize varieties (Arun 1 EV, Manakamana-4, QPM/Posilo makai-1, and Rampur Composite were tested to study the response of different levels of NPK and manures on the grain production of different maize genotypes during the 2 consecutive years 2007/08 and 2008/09. The experiment was conducted in split plot design with 3 replications in the acidic soils (4.6 pH) of NMRP research farm, Rampur at the plot size of 12 sq.m..Manures and PK fertilizers were applied basally at the time of planting and nitrogen (N) was applied half as basal and the other half as topdressing. The crop was planted in the month of September for both years. Growth and yield parameters were analysed statistically following combined analysis. The results revealed a positive response of manures and fertilizers on the grain production of maize genotypes. Two years mean result indicated that the highest grain yield (7.42 t ha-1) was recorded in Rampur Composite variety when the crop was fertilized by 180:90: 60 kg N, P2O5 and K2O along with 10 t ha-1 of compost followed by Posilo makai-1 at 120:60:40 kg N, P2O5 and K2O plus 10 t ha-1 of compost. Arun 1 EV, an early maturing variety, seemed to be weak in grain production even at high levels of fertilization.

Languages : English (eng) Keywords: rain production; hybrid maize; nitrogen levels; plant densities and significant effect. Abstract: Hybrid maize developed from RML-4 and NML-2 and Deutee, a OPV maize variety were tested for the study of response of 3 levels of nitrogen (60, 120 and 180 kg N ha-1) and 3 plant densities (55,555; 66,666 and 83,333 plants ha-1) in the years 2007/08 and 2008/09 in the acidic soil of NMRP research farm, Rampur, Chitwan. A factorial RCB design with 3 replications was employed in the experiment. The crops were fertilized with basal application of 10 t ha-1 of compost and 60 :40 kg ha-1 of P2O5 and K2O, respectively. Three levels of N were applied in the respective plots, half as basal and the remaining half as topdressing at knee high stage. The crops were planted in September at a spacing of 30 cm x 60 cm, 25 cm x 60 cm and 20 cm x 60 cm, and harvested in Janauary at the full maturity stage. The crops were sown in 18 sq.m. plot. The results showed positive effect of N on the grain production of the both varieties.This paper discuss and highlights the results of N application on Deutee and hybrid maize planted at varying densities.

Title : Enhancing maize productivity through the use of split application of phosphorus and potassium in the acid soils of Rampur, Chitawan Material Type: printed text Authors: Adhikary, Bishnu H., Author ; Babu R. Pandey, Author Publication Date: 2009 General note: In: IAAS Journal 2009, 30:57-62. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Crop growth and yield parameters; phosphorus potassium application methods; significant effect; increment Zea mays. Abstract: Phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) are the major food elements for the crop growth and grain production of maize (Zea mays L.).Their response to crop production could vary with their application method and times. Split application of P and K increases the efficacy of the given nutrients and thus increased grain yield could be expected in acid soil condition. To evaluate the effects of methods of P and K application , series of experiments were conducted on maize for 3 consecutive years (2005, 2006 and 2007) in the acidic soils ( 4.77 – 5.09 pH) in the farmland of NMRP, Rampur. The experiments were conducted in RCB design with 3 replications in the plot size
of 12 sq.m. The crop was planted in the month of September and harvested in February. The crop growth and production parameters were studied and analyzed statistically. The results revealed that ear height and kernel rows were found statistically affected in the year 2005 and 2006. Similarly, ear length and kernel numbers were affected significantly in the year 2007. Thousand grain weight was also found significantly affected in all years. The highest 1000 grain weight of 457.66 g was recorded in the year 2007 when the crop was supplied with 40 kg P2O5 (half basal and half topdress) and 30 kg K2O (half basal and half top-dress) along with 10 t of compost and 100 kg /ha of nitrogen. Significant effect of treatments was also observed in straw production during the years 2005 and 2006. The highest straw yield (6.33 t /ha) was recorded in the year 2005 when the crop was fertilized by split application of P and basal dose of 30 kg K2O /ha along with 10 t /ha of compost and 100 kg N. The effects of treatments were observed highly significant on the grain production in all years. Three years mean result revealed that highest grain yield (6.16 t /ha) was recorded when the crop was fertilized by 10 t compost plus 100 kg N applied along with 40 kg P2O5 and 30 kg K2O which were applied half as basal and the other half as topdressing, respectively. The highest yield increment (205.5 %) over the control plot was recorded at this level of fertilization and method of P and K application. Farmers are suggested to apply P and K fertilizers half as basal dressing and the other half as topdress in acid soil condition of Chitwan.Enhancing maize productivity through the use of split application of phosphorus and potassium in the acid soils of Rampur, Chitawan [printed text] / Adhikary, Bishnu H., Author ; Babu R.
