Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during 2017-18 and 2018-19 at Research Farm, JNKVV Jabalpur (M.P.) to assess the growth and biomass productivity of maize cultivar under maize based cropping systems. The growth parameters viz. plant height and dry weight/plant were recorded significantly higher under maize (composite) - chickpea followed by maize (composite) - field pea and maize (composite) - berseem treatment while, leaves/plant was noted significantly more under maize (hybrid) in maize (hybrid)-chickpea and maize (hybrid) - field pea during two years. The maize (hybrid) fb chickpea treatment recorded significantly higher grain yield followed by Maize (hybrid) – field pea and maize (hybrid) - berseem during two years. The significantly higher biomass productivity was recorded under maize (hybrid) fb chickpea followed by maize (hybrid)-field pea and maize (hybrid) - berseem during both the years.
