Description A field experiment entitled “ Direct and residual effect of FYM and
nitrogen levels in fodder maize-coriander sequence” was conducted at
the Agricultural College Farm, Bapatla on clay loam soil during kharif
and rabi seasons, 2004 to study the effect of FYM and fertilizer nitrogen
on fodder maize crop and their residual effect on the performance of
succeeding coriander crop. The experiment consisted of three levels of
FYM (0, 5, 10 t ha-1) assigned to main plots and four levels of nitrogen
(60, 90, 120 and 150 kg ha-1) assigned to sub plots arranged in a split
plot design with three replications.
The plant height, leaf to stem ratio and number of leaves plant-1 of
fodder maize were the highest when 10 t FYM ha-1 was applied and also
by 150 kg nitrogen ha-1at both 40 and 60 DAS. The drymatter production
at 20 and 40 DAS and total chlorophyll content at 60 DAS were the
highest in the treatment receiving 10 t FYM ha-1 among FYM levels and
by 150 kg nitrogen ha-1 among nitrogen levels applied to fodder maize.
The highest drymatter (9625 kg ha-1) was produced when fodder maize
was given 10 t FYM along with 150 kg nitrogen ha-1at 60 DAS.
The treatment combination receiving 10 t FYM along with 150 kg
nitrogen ha-1 recorded the highest green and dry fodder yields (61.5 and
21.6 t ha-1, respectively) which were statistically comparable to the
treatment which received 120 kg nitrogen and FYM 10 t ha-1.
The highest crude protein contents (8.9 and 9.3%) and total ash
contents (8.3 and 9.9%) were recorded when the crop received FYM 10 t
along with 150 kg nitrogen ha-1 and the lowest crude fibre contents (24.5
and 26.1%) of fodder maize was observed when the crop received 10 t
FYM along with 60 kg chemical nitrogen ha-1 at 40 and 60 DAS,
respectively. Increase in the level of FYM upto 10 t ha-1 and nitrogen
upto 150 kg ha-1 significantly increased the crude protein yield of fodder
maize at 40 DAS and the highest crude protein yield was recorded in the
treatment that received 10 t FYM along with 150 kg nitrogen ha-1 at 60
DAS.
Nitrogen uptake by fodder maize was significantly increased upto
10 t FYM ha-1 and also upto 150 kg nitrogen ha-1
at 20 and 40 DAS. The
highest nitrogen uptake (143 kg ha-1) was recorded in the treatment
having received FYM 10 t along with 150 kg nitrogen ha-1 at 60 DAS.
The highest drymatter production, green and seed yields of
succeeding coriander were the highest (1796, 2058 and 578 kg ha-1,
respectively) in the treatment that received 10 t FYM ha-1 along with 150
kg nitrogen ha-1 applied to preceding fodder maize crop. The highest
nitrogen uptake (22 kg ha-1) by coriander was recorded when the
preceding fodder maize was given 10 t FYM along with 150kg nitrogen
ha-1.
Residual soil nitrogen status after the harvest of fodder maize was
significantly increased with increase in FYM level upto 10 t ha-1 and with
each increment in nitrogen level upto 120 kg ha-1. There was no
interaction effect between FYM and nitrogen levels on residual soil
nitrogen status after harvest of fodder maize. Similar trend was
observed with regard to residual soil nitrogen status after harvest of
succeeding coriander crop also.
The study has clearly indicated that increase in FYM level upto 10
t ha-1 and nitrogen level upto 150 kg ha-1 increased the growth
characters, yield and quality parameters of fodder maize. Application of
150 kg nitrogen along with FYM 10 t ha-1 to fodder maize, recorded the
highest green and dry fodder yields and improved the quality parameters
of preceding fodder maize and showed better residual effect in recording
the higher green and seed yields of succeeding coriander.
