Abstract

A field experiment was carried out in randomized block design, consists of seven treatments with three replications at Agricultural Research Farm, Lovely Professional University, Jalandhar, Punjab during kharif season of year 2016. The combined application of FYM, vermicompost and chemical fertilizers (50% Recommended dose of NPK + 25% FYM + 25% Vermicompost) gives significantly higher results in growth parameters (plant height 238.47 cm, stem girth 12.3 cm, number of green leaves 15.33 and number of internodes 18.10) and yield attributes (1.33 cobs per plant, cob length 15.72 cm and 459 grains per cob) as well as yield (grain yield 5400 kg ha-1) as compared to rest of treatments as well as control.
