ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Arabhavi during summer 2010 to study the response of quality protein maize to integrated nutrient management practices. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. Significantly higher grain yield (71.79 q ha-1), Protein (11.71) and carbohydrate(66.86) contents were recorded with application of FYM 10 t ha-1 +100 per cent RDF of over rest of treatments but which was on par with FYM 10 t + 75 per cent RDF + different combination of sunnhemp insitu green manuring or sunnhemp + (Azospirillum + Phosphate solubilising Bacteria,) or sunnhemp + (Azospirillum + Phosphate solubilising Bacteria,) + Panchagavya or sunnhemp + (Azospirillum + Phosphate solubilising bacteria,) + Panchagavya+ Jeevamrutha.
Key words :
Azospirillum, FYM, Green manuring, Jeevamrutha, Liquid manure, Panchagavya, Sunnhemp, Zea mays.
