Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2022 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P) on the topic “Effect of phosphorus and molybdenum on growth and yield of maize (Zea mays L.)”, to study treatments consisting of three levels of Phosphorus viz. 30 kg, 40 kg and 60 kg/ha and three levels of Molybdenum viz. 30, 40 and 50 g/ha. There were 10 treatments each being replicated thrice and laid out in Randomized Block Design. The results revealed that treatment 9 (Phosphorus – 60 kg/ha + Molybdenum – 50g/ha) recorded significantly higher Plant Height (106.10 cm), Plant Dry weight (51.52 g), Crop Growth Rate (12.93 g/m2 /day), number of cobs per plant (2), number of grains per cob (357.67), Seed index (24.55 g), Grain yield (6.61 t/ha), Stover yield (8.85 t/ha), Harvest Index (42.78 %), Maximum gross return (INR 1,32,266.67), net return (INR 91,932.97) and B:C ratio (2.28) as compared to other treatments.
