Abstract

A study entitled “Enhancing Maize Performance through Integrated Nutrient Management” was conducted at NARC, Islamabad, Pakistan, during 2023-24. The experiment was arranged in an RCB design with factorial arrangement. Two maize hybrids, i-e Pioneer-30k08Y and Pioneer-3025W and ten treatments i-e T0= control, T1= Compost, T2= Farm Yard Manure, T3= Poultry Manure (PM), T4= Biochar, T5= Bio Fertilizer, T6= NPK, T7= Foliar application of Moringa leaf extract, T8= Salicylic Acid, T9= IAA (Indole Acetic Acid), T10= IBA (Indole Butric Acid) were studied. Data on leaf area (cm2), Plant height (cm), Chlorophyll a content, chlorophyll b content, relative water content, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, Photosynthetic rate, Cob length (cm), grains cob-1,1000-seed weight (g), biological and grain yield (kg ha-1) were measured. Performance of maize hybrid Pioneer-30k08Y showed promising results regarding growth and yield. Application of farmyard manure also showed maximum results and improved growth and yield of maize hybrids. As this study was only conducted using maize hybrids, it is advisable to experiment with various varieties of maize along with fertilizer combinations to check their synergistic effects for more reliable and acceptable recommendations in the future.
