The quantity of maize

Fertilizers are one of the costly inputs but continue to exert significant contribution to produce additional food grains. To realize maximum benefits and reduce nutrient losses from fertilizers, they must be applied in the right quantity, source and combination at the right time using the right method.

Agricultural production continues to be constrained by a number of biotic and abiotic factors that can reduce crop yield quantity and quality. Potassium (K) is an essential nutrient that affects most of the physiological processes that influence plant growth. To understand the effect of potassium, a pot culture experiment was carried out with graded levels of potassium to study the influence of potassium on physiological parameters of maize in black calcareous and non-calcareous soils.

Nutrient management is one of the most crucial factors in scientific crop productions. The knowledge regarding use of optimum dose of crop nutrition is of prime concern in modern agriculture. The findings of this paper will be helpful in understanding the views of active investigators, theoreticians and practitioners on growth, yield, quality, nutrient uptake, soil health and economics of baby corn. Maize is an exhaustive crop and for gaining higher productivity, it requires very high quantities of nitrogen during the period of efficient utilization.

A field experiment entitled “Influence of bio-fertilizer and nitrogen on growth and yield of hybrid maize (Zea mays L.)” was conducted in 2012 at the Agronomy Experimental Farm of the College of Agriculture, Central Agricultural University, Imphal. The experiment consisting of four nitrogen levels (0, 60, 120 and 180 kg N/ha) and three source of biofertilizers (control, Azotobacter and Azospirillum) was laid out in factorial randomized block design with three replication.

Starch from maize kernels has diverse applications in human and animal diets and in industry and manufacturing. To meet the demands of these applications, starch quantity and quality need improvement, which requires a clear understanding of the functional mechanisms involved in starch biosynthesis and accumulation.

Zinc (Zn) is one of the most essential micronutrients required for normal plant growth and development. Even though considerable quantity of inorganic Zn is applied in soil but significant quantity of it gets converted into unavailable forms. Zn solubilising microorganisms are the potential substitute for Zn supplement to plant from soil. Among the four isolates that were screened for Zn solubilization, fungal ones performed better than bacterial ones and Aspergillus sp. in particular, outperformed every other isolate in the test. It produced a clear halo zone of 22.

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is the sixth most important crop grown worldwide after wheat, rice, maize, potato and cassava and is considered as staple food in many developing countries. The largest quantity of sweet potato production is noticed in Asia and the Pacific Islands (93% of global production). However, sweet potatoes face the problem of weevils, shrinkage and loss of nutrients in storage. Therefore, present research on shelf-life and physicochemical parameters of 12 different sweet potato genotypes were studied in order to determine the varieties for better storage.

There has been a growing gap between the demand for maize and its supply. One of the reasons often attributed to decline in maize productivity is poor production practices, awareness and characterized by low use of modern inputs. In order to avoid the lack of all the above to assess the current levels of technical efficiency of maize cultivation like spacing of Maize cultivation with effective management of irrigation practices could be taken as a study.

Maize, Zea mays L., is one of the important cereal crops with diverse uses as food, feed, fodder and industrial applications. As a food crop it is a primary source of nourishment to people in Africa, Latin America and South Asia. It is also the principal energy source used in poultry diets in most of the countries including India because of its high-energy value, palatability, presence of pigments and essential fatty acids.

Increasing the efficiency of maize production in Vietnam is a prerequisite for increasing the quantity of maize for animal feed. With a view to reducing nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium (NPK) doses for maize production, a two-factor experiment using complex micronano particles across three NPK fertiliser doses and three densities on maize hybrid PAC999 was conducted following a randomized complete block design with plot size of 21.84 m2 , in Binh Dinh province of Vietnam from May to September 2017.

Subsistence agriculture to produce cassava, plantains, cocoyams, yams, maize, ground- nuts, etc, mainly for home consumption, is the main activity on the plain. Small quantities of cocoa (for sale) and coffee (mainly for home consumption) are produced. There are smallholder cooperative associations at lloani and Mbongo villages which pro- duce palm oil , from two small Stork mills of 5t FFB per day capacity. The oi l is sold on the local market through the Catholic Mission at Mbonge. Members earn about 110 000 CFAF a year from palm oil .
