Effect of IFFCO Nanofertilizer on Growth, Grain Yield and Managing Turcicum Leaf Blight Disease in Maize

Nanoscience coupled with nanotechnology emerged as possible cost-cutting approach to prodigal farming and environmental clean-up operations. Hence there is a need for more innovative fertilizer that can increase the productivity of agricultural systems friendly than synthetic fertilizers. The trial was laid out in randomized complete block design 11 treatments three replications. field experiment carried at Main Agricultural Research Station, University Sciences, Raichur during Kharif seasons 2019 2020. In this research, we studied recent development potential benefits derived from use nanofertilizers (NFs) modern agriculture. Nanofertilizers facilitate slow steady release nutrients, thereby reduce loss nutrients enhance nutrient efficiency. present study, such IFFCO nanonitrogen (nano N), nanocopper Cu), nanozinc Zn) sagarika were sprayed maize crop different combinations recommended dose Among fertilizers treatment T11 [50% N, 100% PK, 0% Zinc + 2 sprays nano N (4ml/l) mixed Sagarika (2 ml/l)] showed significant effect on growth yield parameters maximum 58.90 q/ha highest B:C 2.99. Whereas, T10 Zn ml/l) Cu (2ml/l)] found superior regard management Turcicum leaf blight disease minimum 18.20 per cent severity.
