Abstract

A Field experiment was conducted on experimental farm of National Agricultural Research Project, Aurangabad during kharif season 2015. The field experiment was laid as in randomized block design with nine treatments and three replication. The grain yield ha-1 as influenced by different treatments revealed that highest grain yield was recorded by T8-RDF + ZnSO4 + FeSO4 + Borax (4890 kg ha-1) followed by T9-RDF + Foliar application of Micronutrient (4791 kg ha-1). Thus, for securing maximum grain yield maize crop should be sown by supplying recommended dose of NPK (150:75:75 kg ha-1) along with ZnSO4 20 kg ha-1, FeSO4 20 kg ha-1 and borax 5 kg ha-1.
