e0“the maximum values of growth parameters and chemical constitutes at 70 days from sowing (fresh and dry weight, leaf area chlorophyll content ,N,P,K) as well as yield and its components and bio chemical traits of grains at harvest stage e.g., weight of 1000 grain , cob length, No. of rows cob-1 , grain and biological yield, total carbohydrates, protein and oil content in grain were recorded when the maize plants were grown under terraces irrigation technique with compost and simultaneously sprayed with melatonin at rate of 2.0 mmol L-1”
