Physical properties of maize

A study was undertaken to develop an extruded product using three composite formulation of barnyard millet (BM) and maize (M) grits (180 micron). The formulations (BM: M - 70:30, 60:40 and 50:50) were extruded using a twin screw extruder.

Maize (Zea mays L) is one of the most versatile emerging cereal crops having wider adaptability under varied agro-climatic conditions. Pre and post harvesting operations are the most labour intensive operations that are presently done manually in India and need to be mechanized. The physical properties of seeds play an important role for designing seed metering device.

The physical properties like porosity, water holding capacity, bulk density and soil moisture content was improved with the application of FYM (Choudhary and Kumar, 2013). Due to application of tanksilt to soil, bulk density (BD) and hydraulic conductivity of soil was decreased, Water holding capacity (WHC) and soil moisture content was increased (Jeyamangalam et al., 2012).

Soils in India are declining in fertility status due to higher usage of synthetic fertilizers and mono-cropping practices. To maintain the sustainability of soil and better crop production, it is essential to retain physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil through optimum level of organic matter. This article deals on the literature related to biochar, its production and characterization and its effect on soil application. The biochar application to the soil is a novel technique to improve soil fertility and thereby the soil productivity.

Prevalence of moisture stress and poor crop establishment are major constraints for the cultivation of rabi crops in maize fallows which results in reduced cropping intensity and insufficient food production in North Eastern Hill region. Hence, the present field experiment was conducted with different maize based cropping systems under diverse soil moisture conservation (SMC) options at mid-altitudes of Meghalaya.

A field experiment was conducted at College of Agriculture, Padannakkad, Kerala Agricultural University, Thrissur, Kerala, India to study the effect of hydrogel (super absorbent polymer) and mulching on physical and chemical properties of sandy soil in maize (Zea mays L.). The experiment was conducted in factorial randomized block design having two factors with three levels each and one additional control.

Effects of compost, mycorrhiza, manure and fertilizer on some physical properties of a Chromoxerert soil field experiment was conducted to explore the role of mycorrhizal inoculation and organic fertilizers on the alteration of physical properties of a semi-arid Mediterranean soil (Entic Chromoxerert, Arik clay-loam soil). From 1995 to 1999, wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), maize (Zea mays L.
