| Popis: | Optimizing crop yield is a function of the effectiveness of agronomic practices, inherent crop quality in relation with favourable environmental condition. The objective of this study was to evaluate the grain yield and seed quality attributes of maize (Zea mays L) grown under different zinc sulphate application techniques in Moor Plantation, Ibadan, Nigeria. The treatment consisted of two maize varieties (V); (BR9928DMR-SR-Y and ILE-1-OB), six zinc application methods (T); [seed primed in distilled water (S1), 1% (S2) and 2.0 % (S3) of ZnSO4, 1% ZnSO4 foliar spray (S4), soil placed ZnSO4 (S5) (7.0 kg ha-1) and the control (S6-farmer’s practice)]. At harvest, data were collected on grain yield (GY, Kg ha-1), germination index (GI) and seed conductivity (SC). From the result, the T and V differed significantly (P |
