International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges & Opportunities<br />

during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad<br />

Number <strong>of</strong> Leaves Per Plant<br />

The number <strong>of</strong> leaves per plant recorded at 30 DAS, knee high stage, 60 DAS and at harvest. A<br />

scrutiny <strong>of</strong> data revealed that no. <strong>of</strong> leaves in maize differed significantly due to treatments at all<br />

the stages <strong>of</strong> observation except at 30 DAS.No. <strong>of</strong> leaves produced by plant at different stages<br />

increased linearly from 30 DAS to harvest. At knee high stage, 60 DAS and at harvest, highest<br />

number <strong>of</strong> leaves was recorded with T5 {RDF + FYM enrichment with 50 kg ZnSO4 ha -1 } and<br />

was on par with other treatments viz., T2, T4, T7 and T10. The lowest number <strong>of</strong> leaves was<br />

registered with T1 [RDF alone (Control) N: P2O5: K2O - 200:60:50 kg ha -1 ]. From the results it is<br />

inferred that number <strong>of</strong> leaves per plant has shown a gradual increase from seedling to vegetative<br />

stage. Similar trend was also observed by Hekmatet al. (2019) and Singh et al. (2016).<br />

Conclusion<br />

The growth parameters were significantly higher with treatments that consisted <strong>of</strong> conjunctive<br />

Zn application along with organic manures (FYM and inorganic fertilizers), T5 (RDF + FYM<br />

enrichment with 50 kg ZnSO4 ha -1 ) and also shown on par results with T7 {RDF + ZSB (1kg/100<br />

kg FYM) + 0.2% Foliar spray <strong>of</strong> ZnSO4 (Knee-high and Tasseling stages)}.<br />
