Effect of Minimal Tillage in Deccan Hybrid Maize

Abstract

Field experiments were conducted in two seasons to compare the efficiency of various types of tillage treatments combined with different weed control methods. There was no significant difference in yield among conventional tillage (two ploughing with country plough), minimal tillage (one cultivation either with country plough or mould board plough or power tiller) and no tillage. One ploughing with mould board plough (minimal tillage) combined with atrazine band application and intercultivation recorded the maximum yield.
