📄 Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University in Aurangabad to evaluate the effects of various Crotalaria weed manures on the growth and yield of maize. The experimental design used was a randomized block design (RBD) and included six treatments with four replications. The treatments comprised green manure (GM), compost (CM), vermicompost (VM), dry leaf manure (DM), inorganic fertilizers (FE) and control (CO). Fodder maize (Zea mays L. cv. African Tall) was sown at a seed rate of 100 kg per hectare. Growth analyses of the crop were conducted 46 days after sowing (DAS). The results indicated that compost (CM) was the most effective in enhancing the growth and yield of maize.
