Summary

A field experiment to study weed and fertility management in rain-fed maize was undertaken at the Palampur Experimental Farm during the wet seasons of 1977 and 1978. Intercropping soya-bean in maize did not impose undue competition and significantly increased net profit per ha. Yields and net returns were significantly higher when weeds were controlled and 80 kg N/ha was applied. Increased application of fertilizer without weed control did not alter the yield of maize, and there was no response to phosphorus. Various yield attributes of maize were significantly affected by weeding and nitrogen treatments through their effects on grain and stover.
