Influence of Vermicompost and Biofertilizer on Growth and Yield Attributes of Hybrid Maize (Zea mays L.)
Field experiment was conducted at Soil Science Research Farm of SHUATS Prayagraj, (U.P.) on, sandy loam soil to” Influenced of Vermicompost and Biofertilizer on Growth and yield attribute under hybrid Maize (Zea may L.)” during kharif season of 2022. There are nine treatment combinations were comprised in randomized block design with three replications. The results showed that the application of Vermicompost and PSB has a significant and non-significant effect on growth and yield properties of hybrid maize. The maximum plant height of hybrid maize recorded at 30 DAS, 60 DAS and 90 DAS 42.31 cm, 115.32 cm and 122.42 cm, The maximum number of leaves plant-1 of hybrid maize recorded at 30 DAS, 45 DAS and 60 DAS 7.2, 9.3 and 12.7, The maximum number of cobs plant-1 of Hybrid Maize recorded 2.7 was recorded in T9 (VC @100% + PSB @ 100%). Similarly, the maximum number of grains cob-1 of hybrid maize recorded 354.43, The maximum average cob weight of hybrid maize recorded 243.42, The maximum test weight of hybrid maize recorded 207.61, The maximum grain yield of hybrid maize recorded 34.99 q/ha, The maximum harvest index of hybrid maize recorded 27.67 % was recorded in T9 (VC @100% + PSB @ 100%).
