A field experiment entitled, “Performance of maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids under different planting methods and nitrogen levels” was conducted at Agronomy research farm, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during kharif 2013 and 2014. The experiment consisted of four planting techniques viz. Raised Bed System (RBS), Flat Sowing with Zero Tillage (FSZT), Flat Sowing with Minimum Tillage (FSMT) and Flat Sowing with Conventional Tillage (FSCT) in main plots and two maize hybrids viz. HQPM-1 and HQPM-5 and three nitrogen levels viz. 120, 150 and 180 kg N ha-1 in sub plots with combination, were tested in split plot design with three replications. Results obtained from this experiment indicated that the highest nutrient uptake by maize was recorded with FSZT as compared to RBS, FSMT and FSMT. | Effect of planting methods maize hybrids and nitrogen levels on nutrient uptake of high quality protein maize Zea mays L.
