Effect of Biofertigation and Chemical Fertilizers on Yield Attributes and Yield of Rabi Maize (Zea mays L.)

A field experiment was conducted on maize (Zea mays L.) during rabi (November - February), 2018–19 to study the effect of drip fertigation Nitrogen (N), Potassium(K) and microbial consortium (MC) at Water Technology Centre, College Agriculture, PJTSAU, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad. The laid out in randomized block design replicated thrice. treatments, comprising two fertility levels viz., 75% 100% recommended dose (RD) N&K as first factor biofertigation MC second factor. interaction between RD N, K not significant. Significantly higher cob length, girth, number rows cob-1, weight, grains cob-1 grain weight were recorded with N&Kcompared five significantly , than that treatment without application par three times. Maize stover yield compared N&K. Biofertigation times MC. lower observed under
