Abstract

A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of foliar spray of nano fertilizer on growth characters of maize involving hybrid variety (pioneer) during Rabi season 2022-23 at Crop Research Cafeteria at Mandsaur University Mandsaur. This experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replication involving eight treatments and five growth characters of maize. The analysis of variance (ANNOVA) has indicated significant amount of variability present among all eight treatments and all five quantitative character studies. The obtained results revealed that the application of 100% NPK + 2 spray of nano N-fertilizer is more beneficial in terms of growth, productivity, maximum gross return, net return, beneficial cost ratio and sustainability over rest of treatments which lead us to recommend the treatment of 100% NPK + 2 spray of nano N-fertilizer as a most proper nutrients management practice to be applied in sandy loam soil at under Mandsaur region conditions.
