Abstrakt: Field investigation was conducted at Annamalai University Experimental farm, Annamalainagar to formulate an integrated nutrient management system involving granular form of organic manure granules viz., pressmud, seaweed extract granules and Azophos in combination with graded levels of inorganic fertilizers for increasing the growth attributes of hybrid maize during July-November, 2017. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with nine treatments. All the treatments significantly influenced the crop yield components and yield of hybrid maize. Among the treatments, 75 percent RDF + Azophos @ 4 kg ha-1 + Pressmud based organic manure granules @ 150 kg ha-1 + Seaweed extract granules @ 20 kg ha-1 (T5) resulted in enhanced values of various growth components viz., plant height (99.15, 234.32 and 277.51 cm), leaf area index (3.96 and 8.28) and dry matter production (3958, 7857 and 11,426 kg ha-1). This was closely followed by application of 75 percent RDF + Azophos @ 4 kg ha-1 + Pressmud based organic manure granules @ 150 kg ha-1 (T3) and Recommended Dose of Fertilizer (RDF) alone (250:75:75) kg NPK ha-1 (T1) and they were on par with each other. Application of 50 percent RDF + Azophos @ 4 kg ha-1 (T6) resulted in least values of the growth components of hybrid maize. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
