Early fertilization during winter cultivation and its residual effect on silage maize grown sequentially

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect an early application potassium (K) fertilizer on pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) grown during fall/winter performance maize (Zea mays silage in succession. Using a randomized block design, harvest, plots were composed and six doses K (0, 30, 60, 90, 120 150 kg K2O ha-1) as muriate potash (57% K2O) addition fallow. In summer cultivation maize, applied complementary autumn/winter harvest total ha-1 (120, 0) 0 for no cover treatment. An additional treatment that planted received recommended fertilization amount (60 90 planting broadcasting, respectively). For millet, evaluated plant height, green dry biomass yields, soil at days after . agronomic traits, leaf nutrient content yields evaluated. did not alter yield components maize. However, straw produced by efficient promoting off-season.
