Effect On Yield

An experiment was conducted to evaluate effect of urea fertilizer on yield and yield components of Zea mays L. Using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) split plots in three replications in agricultural research farm of Balkh University by 2019. Doses of urea used in this experiment were 0, 80, 160 and 240 kg ha-1 , respectively. It has been found that amount of nitrogen fertilizer (urea) had significant effect on yield of maize at p<0.05. The higher level of nitrogen caused the higher grain yield, number of kernels per ear, the number of grains per ear row, ear diameter, cob length, grain per plant and plant height. As a result 7.76 ton ha-1 was recorded as high yield while 240 kg ha-1 urea was used, and 5.12 ton ha-1 was recorded as low yield in treatment one with 0 kg ha-1 of nitrogen fertilizer. Finally, as a result using 240 kg ha-1 nitrogen fertilizer is recommended.

<span>The food security is a huge problem with the increase in population of the Pakistan. Maiz (Zea mays) is one of the major cereal crop and has the capability to compete with the production as well as supporting the controlling applications. As, the modern genotypes has the good potential to resist with the potassium (K) application into the field, an experiment was conducted on K levels with 0, 30, 60 and 90 kg ha-1. Maize genotypes viz MM-50, MM-44, ZMS-52, ZMS-51, ZMS-40, ZMS-06, GV-41, Kiramat-2C, 325-PW and Babar-1C were tested into the field. Our results concluded that K levels had a significant effect on grain yield and yield components. Application of K at 60 kg ha-1 showed good yield compared to all other levels of K applications. The tested genotypes also had a significant effect on the tested traits. The genotype (MM-50) showed maximum grains yield (3924 kg ha-1) and maximum yield components to all the genotypes. Maximum grains yield (4593 kg ha-1) and 1000 grain weight (260.4 g) were obtained from genotype (MM-50) at K level of 60 kg ha -1.</span>
