Abstract:
Field experimentation was conducted during Rabi, 2020 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P.). The soil of experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, Basic in soil reaction (pH 7.4), low in organic carbon (0.49%), available N (219 kg/ha), available P (21.3 kg/ha), available K (235.8 kg/ha). The treatments which are Nitrogen at 80, 100, 120 kg/ha along with it Phosphorus at 40, 50, 60 kg/ha were used. The research was laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments each replicated three times. In the study maximum plant height (173.57 cm), plant dry weight (17.81 g/plant), Cob yield (19.52 t/ha), Green fodder yield (22.08 t/ha), Cost of cultivation (49008.91 Rs./ha), Gross returns (205383.87 Rs./ha), Net returns (156374.96 Rs./ha) and B:C ratio (3.19) was obtained with by application of Nitrogen at 100 kg/ha + Phosphorus at 60 kg/ha.
