Abstract: The study was conducted at Norman E. Borlaug Crop Research Centre of Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, U.S Nagar (Uttarakhand) during Kharif seasons of 2018. Three planting date viz. 11th July, 23rd July and 21st August 2018 and three types of mulching material with one control treatment viz. Dhaincha mulch, Green weed mulch and Plastic mulch was studied during the experimental period. Hybrid maize variety Maize Sugar 75 was used for the study. The experiment was laid out in 2- factorial Randomized design with three number of replication having net plot size 5m x 3m. The various ancillary observations on the growth were periodically recorded along with post-harvest studies to evaluate the treatment effects. Green cob yield and grain yield was maximum for 11th July sowing and lowest for 21st August sown maize sugar 75.
