Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at Crop Research Farm (CRF), SHUATS, Prayagraj, during the Zaid season of 2021 with 10 treatments replicated thrice in randomized block design, to study the Agronomic Response of Sulphur and Zinc Levels on Growth and Yield of Maize (Zea mays L.). Report of the study revealed that Treatment T₃ (120 kg N ha^-1 + 40 kg S ha^-1 + 15 kg Zn ha^-1) was found to be maximum for obtaining maximum plant height (208.53 cm), dry matter accumulation (171.72 g plant^-1), CGR (13.09 g m^-2 day^-1), RGR (1.96 g/g/day), number of leaves (14.67), test weight (249.29 g), number of rows (13.67), number of grains (30.67). grain yield (9.93 t ha^-1) and stover yield (22.50 t ha^-1).
