Abstract:
Maize is one of the important cereal crop which is grown around the globe because of its wider adaptability to different climatic conditions and especially can be grown in countries with warm climate and adequate moisture content and even in temperate and sub humid and humid regions as this crop can with stand many adverse climatic conditions and ability to sustain even in drought regions in northern plain regions this crop can be cultivated in all three seasons i.e., kharif, Rabi, spring round the year maize plant shows rapid and quick growth in all the stages of crop viz., planting – emergence-tasseling-Silking- physiological maturity hence requires higher amounts of nutrient to get optimum yields. Hence planting densities and nitrogen requirements plays a crucial role in on its growth and yields, so the investigations on plant densities and nitrogen requirement of the maize crop have much importance so as to know which treatment yields optimum returns to farmers and are also viable for farmers in cultivation process.
