PERFORMANCE OF MAIZE (Zea Mays) AND WHEAT (Triticum aestivum) IN SEQUENCE WITH COMPLEMENTARY USE OF FYM AND FERTILIZERS UNDER RAINFED CONDITIONS

Abstract

Results of three year field study (1993-96) on the performance of maize and wheat crops with different treatments of FYM and fertilizers revealed that cumulative effect of FYM during all the crop seasons in maize and wheat and direct effect of FYM on maize in the first year of experimentation performed better over rest of the treatments and ultimately reflected on the grain yield of the crops. Application of 50% of recommended NPK to both maize and wheat crop is beneficial for getting maximum benefit cost ratio.
