Description A field experiment entitled “Effect of farmyard manure and
biodigester liquid manure on growth and yield of rainfed maize (Zea mays
L.)” was conducted at Agriculture Research Station, Bhavikere, Tarikere
taluk during kharif season of 2010 on red sandy loam soil. The
experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with
thirteen treatments replicated thrice. Higher grain yield (56.2 q ha-1) and
stover yield (108.9 q ha-1) obtained due to higher growth attributing
characters like higher plant height (187.0 cm), number of leaves (12.3),
leaf area (4118.2 cm2 per plant) and total dry matter production (360.8 g
plant-1) and its accumulation into different parts of plant and yield
attributing characters like grain weight per cob (105.2 g), number of
seeds per cob (421.0 g), number of rows per cob (15.1), test weight (30.1
g), cob length (17.0 cm) and cob girth (15.6 cm) of maize was recorded in
the treatment combinations of FYM 12.5 t ha-1 + biodigester liquid
manure equivalent at 150 kg N ha-1 and it was on par with the treatment
combinations of FYM 10 t ha-1 + biodigester liquid equivalent to 150 kg N
ha-1 and FYM 7.5 t ha-1 + recommended NPK 100: 50: 25 kg N ha-1.
Higher total nutrient uptake of N, P and K (184.5, 38.5 and 181.1 kg
ha-1, respectively), total microbial population (50.5 × 106 CFU g-1, 26.0 ×
104 CFU g-1, 23.8 × 103 CFU g-1, bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes,
respectively and Higher net returns (Rs. 34,989 ha-1) and B: C ratio (3.1)
due to application of FYM and biodigester liquid manure which might
have improved activity of beneficial micro-organisms and also due to
increase in the organic carbon besides increasing the availability of NPK
in soil.
