“…The plastic mulching had resulted in higher yield attributes parameters of maize but was at par with summer ploughing + plastic mulch, stale seed bed preparation + plastic mulch (Sharma et al 2008). These results are in line with those of previous studies by Saikia and Pathak (1993), Awasthy et al (2015), and Deewan et al (2017). Yield: Among different organic weed management treatments, maximum values of green cob and green fodder yield (4.11 and 5.99 t/ha) of sweet corn was recorded with stale seed bed and plastic mulch, which found at par with plastic mulch with soil solarization + plastic mulch and summer ploughing + plastic mulch during 2018.…”

Area under organic cultivation of crops is increasing not only in India but also in Rajasthan as well. Weeds are often recognized as the most serious threat to organic crop production and fear of ineffective weed control is often perceived by farmers as one of the major obstacles to conversion from conventional to organic farming. A two years field experiment was conducted to study the non-chemical methods of weed management in organically grown sweet corn (Zea mays L.) during 2018-19. Among the 12 organic weed management treatments, soil solarization + plastic mulch at sowing resulted in significantly lower weed density, weed dry matter, higher yield attributes and yield over other treatments but at par with stale seed bed preparation + plastic mulch at sowing during both the years. Stale seed bed preparation + plastic mulch at sowing gave highest net returns and benefit-cost ratio of ₹ 62746 and 105201 and 1.62 and 2.35, respectively followed by weedy check, which gave the net returns and benefit: cost ratio of ₹ 16093, 26858 and 0.96 and 2.18, respectively.

“…Although days taken to 50% silking and tasselling was lesser with mulching (69.81, 78.20) as compared to without mulch (73.74, 79.20), the difference was non-significant. Similar results on growth parameters of maize due to mulching was recorded by Shirazi et al (2011), Awasthy et al (2015) and Noor et al (2021). The interaction between irrigation levels and mulching was found to be non-significant for various growth parameters.…”

Aim: This study was planned and conducted to find the optimum IW:CPE level of irrigation scheduling along with mulching for spring maize in Punjab. Methodology: An experiment was conducted in spring, 2022 on agriculture farm of Lovely Professional University, Punjab comprising of four levels of irrigation scheduling viz., I1 (Surface irrigation at critical growth stages), I2 (Surface irrigation at 1.0 IW:CPE), I3 (Surface irrigation at 0.8 IW:CPE), I4 (Surface irrigation at 0.6 IW:CPE) assigned to main plots and two mulching treatments viz., M1 (No Mulch), M2 (With Mulch) allotted to the sub plots, which were replicated 4 times in split plot design. Results: Application of irrigation at IW:CPE ratio of 1.0 and 0.8 in spring maize were equally good as they recorded higher growth and yield parameters. Among the mulching practices, M2 resulted in better growth and yield parameters over no mulching. Highest green cob yield, grain yield and stover yield were also attained under irrigation applied at 1.0 IW:CPE combined with mulching, but it remained statistically at par with irrigation at 0.8 IW:CPE with mulching. Highest water use efficiency was seen under 0.8 IW:CPE. Interpretation: Optimum level of irrigation along with mulching for spring maize was assessed based on the results obtained for growth, yield as well as water use efficiency. It was recorded that irrigation at 0.8 IW:CPE with mulching was found best for higher grain yield of maize hybrid. Key words: Grain yield, Hybrid maize, Irrigation scheduling, Mulching, Water use efficiency
