Abstract:
An experiment was conducted at the experimental field of Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, Dhaka during the period from November, 2015 to April,
2016 to study the growth and yield of white maize varieties under fertilizer doses.
The experiment consisted of two factors. Factor A: Fertilizer doses
=
Recommended dose
2
= Below 25% of recommended dose
=
Below 50% of recommended dose
= above 25% of recommended dose

: KS-510 and V
: PSC-121. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot
design with three replications where doses of fertilizers were assigned in the
main plot and varieties in the sub-plot. Results showed that plant height of both
the varieties at maturity

had significantly higher
leaf area
