Proper amount
of irrigation water along with the adequate supply of macronutrients
play an important role in increasing yield and yield components of maize
crop. This study was undertaken to determine the growth and yield
response of maize under different levels of irrigation viz.3
irrigations, 5 irrigations,6 irrigations, 7 irrigations and three levels
of phosphorus in sub plot (60, 90, 120 kg ha-1). Results showed that
full irrigation enhanced leaf area index (2.1), stem diameter (2.00),
grain weight per cob (124.71g), 1000- grain weight (0.29 kg). whereas
phosphorous application at the rate of 120 kg ha-1 had improved 1000
grain weight (0.28 kg), grain yield (141.73 mounds/ha), grain yield
(5.66 t ha-1) and biological yield (15.73 t ha-1).Our results showed
that irrigation level I4 with combine application of phosphorous
treatment P3improved yield and yield components. How to cite this article: Hussain S, Sher A, Khan A, jincai L, Ameen A, Shakoor A (2015). Effect of Posphorus and different irrigation regimes on the yield and yield components of maize (Zea mays L.). Acad. Res. J. Agri. Sci. Res. 3(9): 267-271.
