“…This is logic, hence the distribution of plants in S 3 may be favorable the light intensity, therefore, the plant height and the other studied traits must be increased in tall and information of grains. These results are in harmony with those stated by Sener et al (2004), El-Metwally et al (2011, Sharifai et al (2012) and Ukonze et al (2016).…”

“…Leilah et al (2013) showed that increase in intra-row spacing from 20 to 25cm significantly increased cob diameter, 100-grain weight and grain yield. Ukonze et al (2016) showed that the 70 x 30 and 60 x 40 cm spacing gave higher values of the morphological parameters than 80 x 20 cm. With regard to yield, 80 x 20 cm gave the highest average cob weight and 1000-grain weight.…”

Two field experiments were carried out during two summer seasons (2017 and 2018) at the Experimental Farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, Assiut University, Assiut, to study the response of two maize hybrids [Single Cross 128 (S.C. 128) and Triple Cross 310 (T.C. 310)] yield and its components for three interrows spacing (Rw 1 = 60 cm, Rw 2 = 70 cm and Rw 3 = 80 cm) and three intra-rows spacing (S 1 = 20 cm, S 2 = 25 cm and S 3 = 30 cm). Experimental design was randomized complete block design (RCBD) using split-plot in strips, where interrow spacing allocated in the main horizontally, maize hybrids were arranged in the main vertically and intra-row spacing were occupied the sub-plots. According to results, the maximum values of plant height and ear diameter in both seasons, ear length in the 1 st season, ear grains weight and grain yield/fed.

“…Number of leaves at 9 WAP showed no significant difference between T C and T E and this may be due to high nitrogen percentage in the poultry manure and NPK fertilizer. When compared with the results of the earlier researchers, the values obtained here is not far from what [26] reported when NPK fertilizer was used for different spacing of maize. The number of leaves recorded in this experiment is higher than what [27] obtained when different level of NPK fertilizers was used for different sweet corn hybrids in Kharif season.…”

Aim: This research investigated the utilization of livestock manure as nutrient source in maize farming. Place and Duration: The field experiment was carried out at the research field of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Lagos State Field Office, Nigeria during the late planting season (July/August) of 2019. Methodology: An experimental field research was conducted to compare the variation in the vegetative parameters and yields of maize grown with different livestock wastes. The experiment consisted of six treatments, cattle, pig, poultry, sheep manures, NPK and control experiment set-up in a Randomized Complete Block Design with four replicates. The following data were recorded during the experiment: plant height, number of leaves, number of days to first tasselling and silking, number of cob, cob length, effective cob length, cob diameter, cob weight, ear weight, 100 grain weight, grain yield and shelling percentage. Data recorded were exposed to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and the means were separated with Duncan Multiple Range Test. Results: The plant height and number of leaves recorded at 9 Weeks After Planting were 215.53, 217.57, 219.69, 188.85, 219.19, 182.76 and 13.60, 13.40, 13.8, 12.4, 13.8, 12.2 cm for cattle, pig, poultry, sheep, NPK and control respectively while the yield were 3193.00, 3055.20, 3513.00, 2855.00, 3791.00 and 1523.80 kg/ha for cattle, pig, poultry, sheep, NPK and control respectively. Conclusion: Considering the yields recorded, it has shown that cattle, pig, poultry and sheep manures are suitable for sustainable maize growth and is a means of livestock waste management.

“…This is in concord with the finding of Duncan and Hesketh (1968), who observed the variation in height at maturity of different genotypes in maize ranging from 120 cm to 300 cm. Number of nodes in any plant represents the total leaves produced by it and its photosynthetic potentials to manufacture food [25].…”

Maize is ranked as one of the cereal crops with high yield potential globally and may be considered very important for countries like Nigeria, where there is an increasing demand for food to meet the demand of its teeming population. Five varieties of maize (Sammaz 52, M1217, M1155, Oba 98 and Oba super II) obtained seed companies and mostly grown in Wukari were evaluated during the 2020/2021 cropping seasons for yield, agronomic performance, seed metrics and nutritional quality at the Research and Teaching Farm of the Federal University Wukari, Taraba State. Having four replications, the experiment was set up using Randomized complete Block Design (RCBD). Obtained data on agronomic characters, yield and nutrient qualities revealed significant differences among the varieties for days to tasseling, silking, grain yield, nutritional content, number of nodes, ear height (cm), hundred seed weight (g), number of seed rows, seed length at P>0.05. Height at matirity showed significant difference, with Oba98 having the highest (195.25 cm) value. M1217 recorded superiority (24.95g) over the other varieties for 100 seed weight. Laboratory Analysis was conducted to determine the essential amino acid and nutritional content of the five maize varieties. There was a significant variation in the crude protein content of the five varieties with the SAMMAZ52 having the highest value (13.14%). Oba 98 recorded highest essential amino acid such as Methionine (2.39), Lysine (2.33) and Tryptophan (1.43) over the other varieties assessed.
