Abstract:

An experiment was carried out in the field of at the research farm of department of Agronomy, AKS University, Satna, (M.P.) during the kharif season of 2024. The results revealed that among the Integrated Cultural Practices and Nutritional Management, application of 100 % RDF (120:60:40 kg (NPK))+ Interculture by spudding at 20 and 40 DAS recorded significantly maximum plant height (131.32 cm) at 90 DAS, number of leaves plant-1 (13.51) at 90 DAS, stalk grith (4.93), root length (74.51) and yield parameter like number of cobs plant-1 (1.56), number of grains cobs-1(13.47), cob weight (215.49), Test weight 1000 grain weight (365.13), grain yield (7.50 t ha-1), Stover yield (15.76 t ha-1) and harvest index (36.29%).
