Abstract: The field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2015, at the experimental farm of IFTM University, Lodhipur Rajput, Delhi Road NH-24, Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh. Thirteen treatment combinations viz., T1 (Control), T2 (120% RDF NPK), T3 (120% RDF NPK + B), T4 (120% RDF NPK + Zn), T5 (120% RDF NPK + B + Zn), T6 (100% RDF NPK), T7 (100% RDF NPK + B), T8 (100% RDF NPK + Zn), T9 (100% RDF NPK + B+ Zn), T10 (75% RDF NPK + 10 t FYM ha-1), T11 (75% RDF NPK + B + 10 t FYM ha-1), T12 (75% NPK + Zn + 10 t FYM ha-1), and T13 (75% RDF NPK + Zn + B +10 t FYM ha-1) were taken for this investigation to find out suitable nutrient management practices for the growth and yield of maize crop. Maximum values of growth parameters, yield and yield attributes were observed with T13 (75% NPK+B+Zn+FYM 10 t ha-1) and next to the best treatment was T12 (75% NPK + Zn + FYM 10t ha-1). Maximum plant height at 30, 60 DAS and at harvest stage (35.67, 190.10, 222.00 cm), fresh weight (101.33, 337.33, 402.00 g), dry weight (28.25, 195.67, 284.33 g) at 30, 60DAS and at harvest stage, number of cobs (1.93 plant-1), cob length (39.67 cm) and number of grains (614.23 cob-1) were recorded with T13(75% NPK+B+Zn+10t FYM ha-1). Maximum grain yield (26.42 q ha-1), stover yield (45.15 q ha-1) and harvest index (36.93%) were also recorded with T13 (75% NPK + B + Zn + 10t FYM ha-1).
