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

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

leaves, plant height, leaf area index and chlorophyll content. Application <strong>of</strong> 100% RDF + 25 %<br />

N through poultry manure was recorded significantly number <strong>of</strong> leaves, plant height, leaf area<br />

index, and chlorophyll content over 75% RDF + 25 % N through poultry manure, 75% RDF + 25<br />

% N through FYM, 100% RDF and it were statistically at par with 100% RDF + 25 % N through<br />

FYM, respectively. The interaction effect between mulching and integrated nutrient management<br />

treatments on number <strong>of</strong> leaves, plant height, leaf area index and chlorophyll content were found<br />

to be non-significant. Similar findings were also reported by Iqbal et al. (2014), who observed<br />

that application <strong>of</strong> application <strong>of</strong> 75 % N from urea + 25 % N from poultry manure recorded<br />

significantly highest plant height and number <strong>of</strong> leaves per plant observed.<br />

Conclusion<br />

Based on the experimentation, it can be concluded that mulching and integrated nutrient<br />

management treatments had pronounced effect on growth <strong>of</strong> Kharifmaize. Dust mulch<br />

application produced the highest growth traits. Application <strong>of</strong> 100% RDF + 25 % N through<br />

poultry manure practice proved to be higher growth than other recommended dose <strong>of</strong> fertilizers.<br />
