Influence of Nitrogen on the Root Growth of Maize Grown in Association with Different Legumes Under Rainfed Conditions

Abstract

                                An experiment was conducted to study the influence of different nitrogen levels on root growth of maize grown pure and in association with different legumes under rainfed conditions. Raising mung and Urad with maize increased the volume and dry weight of maize roots. Application of nitrogen increased root growth of maize significan- tly when it was grown pure or in association with legumes. However, no beneficial effect of nitrogen was noticed when maize was grown with urad.
