Impact of integrated nutrient management on the growth, yield, and quality of quality protein maize (Zea mays L.)

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2023-24 on loamy sand of in the rural area of Kanpur district of Mandhana, located 10 km from Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh to Impact of Integrated Nutrient Management on the Growth, Yield, and Quality of Quality Protein Maize (Zea mays L.). The soil was normal in pH of 7.63, electrical conductivity (EC) of 0.24 dSm-1, organic carbon content of 0.43%, and available nutrients including nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) at levels of 215.90, 19.1, and 149.40 kg ha-1, respectively. The experiment was laid out during Rabi season of 2023-24.The experiment consisted of 12 treatment combinations, was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications.
