Abstract

Adequate and balanced supply of essential nutrients, promising cultivars and improved planting methods are prime important to realize the maximum potential of differe nt maize hybrids.This study was conducted to evaluate the response of different planting methods on rooting system, crop growth, phosphorus (P) uptake and yield of different maize (maysL.) hybrids.Three maize hybrids viz. 6621 (H 1), 919 (H 2) and KS-64 (H3) were planted in flat sowing (P1= 75 cm spaced rows), ridge sowing (P
