“Results revealed that on pooled basis of two years the yield attributes viz., cob length (17.79 cm), cob grith (14.35 cm), cob weight per cob (199.68 g), seed weight per cob (160. 11 g), seed number.cob (485.38), number of grains row per cob (13.58), number of grains per row (36.16), seed index (25.47 g) and shelling percentage (80.10%) were significantly maximum in residue incorporation with spray of microbial consortium on residue treatment.”
