Effect of phosphorus and nano urea on yield and economics of maize (Zea mays L.)

Author(s): Rahul Raj and Aditya Kumar
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during Kharif season 2023 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy. Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. The treatments consisted of three levels of Phosphorus (40, 60 and 80 kg/ha) and three levels of Nano Urea (01, 03 and 04 ml/l) along with control (120-80-40 NPK kg/ha). The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with ten treatments which have replicated thrice. The results of the experiment revealed that the Application of Phosphorus at 60 kg/ha along with Nano Urea 03 ml/l (Treatment 8) recorded significantly higher Seed yield (05.54 t/ha), higher Stover yield (08.29 t/ha) and harvest index (35.86%). The same treatment also recorded maximum gross return (INR.110019.80 /ha), net return (INR. 66939.84 /ha) and benefit cost ratio (1.55).
