A field experiment was conducted at Rajola Farm, Agriculture Faculty, Mahatma Gandhi Chitrakoot Gramodaya Vishwavidyalaya Chitrakoot, Satna (M.P.) during kharif, 2023 and 2024 to study the Effect of The Different Systems of Nutrient Management on Growth and yield of Maize (Zea mays L.) in Bundelkhand Region of India. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design during kharif, 2023 and 2024 with thirteen treatments comprising of T1- Control, T2- Seed treatment with Beejamrit + Foliar application of jeevamrit + Mulching, T3- Seed treatment with Beejamrit + Soil application of jeevamrit + Foliar application of jeevamrit + Mulching, T4- Seed treatment with Beejamrit + Soil application of Ghana jeevamrit + Foliar application of jeevamrit + Mulching., T5- Farm Yard Manure (Based on RDN equivalent of recommended), T6-Vermicompost (Based on RDN equivalent of recommended), T7- Poultry Manure (Based on RDN equivalent of recommended), T8-100% RDF + Azotobacter + PSB, T9-75% RDF + 25% FYM + Azotobacter + PSB, T10 - 50% RDF + 50% FYM + Azotobacter + PSB, T11- 75% RDF, T12- 100% RDF, T13 -125% RDF replicated thrice. Significantly higher plant height, number of leaves plant-1, dry matter plant-1, Days to 50% Tassel, Days to 50% silking, Days to maturity, girth of cob, and cob yield (kg ha-1) were recorded. Among the different treatments, application of 75% RDF + 25% N through FYM + biofertilizers recorded longest plant height at (53.33 cm and 54.87 cm in 2023 and 2024, respectively), number of leaves at 20 DAS (7.07 cm and 8.00 cm in 2023 and 2024, respectively), dry matter at 20 DAS (1.94 and 2.08 in 2023 and 2024, respectively), Days to 50% Tassel (63.00 and 61.67 in 2023 and 2024, respectively), Days to 50% silking (67.67 and 66.67 in 2023 and 2024, respectively) Days to maturity (115 and 116 in 2023 and 2024, respectively), cob girth (14.10 and 14.10 cm in 2023 and 2024, respectively) and cob yield (7205.20 and 7367.10 kg ha-1 in 2023 and 2024, respectively) as compared to rest of treatments.
