Abstract
A field study to evaluate the Influence of integrated levels of Potassium and Zinc on the green fodder yield of Miaze (Zea mays L.) was carried out at Agronomy Section, Agriculture Research Institute, Tandojam during Kharif, 2013. The experiment was laid out in a three replicated randomized complete block design (RCBD), having net plot size 5 x 4m (20 m2). The treatments consisted of No Potassium + No Zinc (Control), Potassium @ 40.0 kg ha-1, Potassium @ 60.0 kg ha-1, Zinc @ 5.0 kg ha-1, Zinc @ 10.0 kg ha-1, Potassium @ 40.0 kg ha-1 + Zinc @ 5.0 kg ha-1, Potassium @ 40.0 kg ha-1 + Zinc @ 10.0 kg ha-1, Potassium @ 60.0 kg ha-1 + Zinc @ 5.0 kg ha-1 and Potassium @ 60.0 kg ha-1 + Zinc @ 10.0 kg ha-1. The analysis of variance showed that various levels of potassium and zinc either sole or integrated influenced positively and significantly (P<0.05) growth and fodder yield traits of maize as compared to No Potassium + No Zinc (Control). The integrated application of Potassium @ 60.0 kg ha-1 + Zinc @ 10.0 kg ha-1 produced maximum plant population (9.00 m-2), plant height (180.67 cm), nodes plant-1 (5.91), green leaves plant-1 (15.89), leaf length (48.55 cm), stem girth (4.10 cm), biomass weight plant-1 (520.79 g) and green fodder yield (41.53 t ha-1), closely followed by integration of Potassium @ 60.0 kg ha-1 + Zinc @ 5.0 kg ha-1 with 8.67 m-2 plant population, 179.52 cm plant height, 5.80 nodes plant-1, 15.68 green leaves plant-1, 47.96 cm leaf length, 4.04 cm stem girth, 517.90 g biomass weight
