Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Bed planting gave significantly higher gross returns, net returns and benefit cost ratio than flat sowing.
- Intervention effect Gross returns, net returns and benefit cost ratio increased with nitrogen rates up to 180 kg N ha -1, with significant response only up to 150 kg N ha -1.
- Intervention effect Bed planting produced maximum grain nitrogen uptake of 115.3 kg ha -1.
- Intervention effect Bed planting produced maximum stover nitrogen uptake of 40.4 kg ha -1.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen uptake with bed planting was at par with ridge planting and higher than flat sowing.
- Intervention effect Application of 150 kg N ha -1 increased grain and stover nitrogen uptake compared with control, 90 and 120 kg N ha -1.
- Intervention effect Planting methods did not significantly affect available soil nitrogen after harvest.
- Intervention effect The 180 kg N ha -1 rate gave maximum available soil nitrogen of 146.8 kg ha -1.
- Intervention effect Planting methods and nitrogen rates did not significantly influence plant stand.
- Intervention effect Planting methods and nitrogen rates did not significantly influence available soil phosphorus and potassium.
- Recommendation The authors recommend bed grown maize with 150 kg N ha -1 for higher economic returns.
