Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2014 at Agricultural Research Station, Banswara (MPUAT), Rajasthan in split-split plot design having two fertilizer doses (150:50:60 and 200:60:80 kg of N: P2O5:K2O ha-1) in main plots and two plant spacing viz. 60×20 cm2 and 60×15 cm2 in sub plots, while 4 hybrids (Vivek hybrid-27, HM-4, Seed Tech-2524 and HQPM-4)  sown in sub-sub plots with three replications. Results revealed that spacing of 60×15 cm2 and 200:60:80 kg NPK ha-1 significantly increased the plant height, green fodder yield, green ear yield with husk and without husk  of hybrids over 60×20 cm2 and 150:50:60 kg NPK ha-1, respectively. Seed Tech-2324 produced significantly maximum green ear yield (121.52 q ha-1) and dehusked cobs weight (20.13 q ha-1) over HM 4 (65.93 and 12.32 q ha-1), Vivek hybrid-27 (83.65 and 15.80 q ha-1) and HQPM-4 (114.73 and 19.22 q ha-1), respectively. The maximum green fodder yield (244 q ha-1) obtained with Vivek hybrid-27 and was significantly 38.64, 22.00 and 8.44% higher than HM 4 (176 q ha-1), Seed Tech 2324 (200 q ha-1) and HQPM-4 (225 q ha-1), respectively. The maximum green ear yield (22 q ha-1) of Seed Tech-2324 and fodder yield (283q ha-1) of Vivek hybrid-27 while, B: C ratio (3.49) of HQPM-4 was found with the interaction of 60×15 cm2 and 200:60:80 kg NPK ha-1.
