Abstract

The experiment was set up at the Dr. Khem Singh Gill Akal College of Agriculture's experimental farm chhapang at the Eternal University in Baru Sahib during 2019–20 to assess the impact of organic and inorganic nitrogen management and planting technique on maize yield. The experiment was designed as a split plot with a total of three replications of each of the two main plot treatments, Flat bed and Raised bed, and five sub plot treatments, 100% IO, 100% FYM, 50% IO + 50% FYM, 75% IO + 25% FYM, and 100% IO + 25% FYM. The observations were made at 25, 50, and 75 days following sowing. According to the results, treatment T3 (50% IO + 50% FYM) produced the highest levels of cobs per plant, cob diameter, cob number of grains per cob, cob weight per plant, cob length, test weight, index of harvest, yield of grain, and straw yield. Therefore, combining organic and inorganic inputs in T3 (50% IO + 50% FYM) with raised beds led to high maize yield performance. For sustainable maize development, the mixture of Raised bed with 50% IO + 50% FYM might be advised.
