Author(s): Veerendra Kumar and Rakesh Kumar Ratre
Abstract: The experiment was carried out during rabi season of 2016 at Research Cum Instructional Farm, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (Chhattisgarh). Maize has been an important cereal because of its great production potential and adoptability to wide range of environments. In Indian agriculture, maize assumes a special significance on account of its utilization as food, feed and fodder. The highest dry matter accumulation plant-1 was recorded in atrazine 1.25 kg a.i. ha-1 (PE) followed by one hand hoeing at 30 DAS (T9) and the lower dry matter was observed in weedy check as compared to other treatments. Significantly higher number of leaves per plant was obtained under atrazine 1.25 kg a.i. ha-1 (PE) followed by one hand hoeing at 30 DAS (T9). The atrazine 1.25 kg a.i. ha-1 (PE) followed by one hoeing at 30 DAS recorded significantly higher fodder yield and harvest index.
