Integrated Nitrogen Management Studies in Forage Maize

A research trial was conducted to examine the comparative efficacy of organic and inorganic sources of nitrogen fertilizers alone and in different combinations on the yield and quality contributing parameters of forage maize (Zea mays L.) during 2012.The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The maximum green forage yield (47.51 t ha~(-1)), dry matter yield (10.361 ha~(-1)) and crude protein (8.63 %) were recorded in case of T, (100 % recommendeddose of nitrogen from urea) which were statistically at par with T_5 (75 % nitrogen from urea + 25 % nitrogen from poultry manure). This indicated that inorganic source of nitrogen also responded well for maximum growth and quality parameters. Results indicated that application of inorganic fertilizer alone and in combination with organic manure (75 % nitrogen from urea + 25 % nitrogen from poultry manure) have a significantly greater influence than other treatments.
