Abstract:
Maize is major crop grown in temperate ecologies hence improved nutrient management strategies are imperative. Firstly type of amendment and rate exhibited clear difference in Plant Height. Lowest Plant Height was recorded in A7 75.91 and highest in A2 (Apple 400 ℃) 129.79. Trend in Plant Height among amendments was as follows A3 ˃ A2 ˃A6 ˃A5 ˃A7 ˃A1 ˃A4 with mean values 154.23, 248.95, 259.45, 146.23, 217.67, 233.34, 162.06. Amendments and rate has visible impact of maize plant parameters. These advanced residue management strategies should be adopted in temperate Himalayas.
