Abstract

Four tillage practices and five methods of application of 16 - 20 - 0 fertilizer at the rate of 75 kilograms per rai including broadcast and different methods of banding were investigated at the National Corn and Sorghum Research Center during August and December 1982. The experimental site had no nutsedge and Burmese grass problem. The result indicated that zero tillage caused corn plants to flower earlier than conventional tillage practice did. More plants per unit land area were recorded for a conventional tillage system in comparison to minimum and zero tillages. However, plant height and grain yield were not different among four tillage systems. Methods of fertilizer application failed to show a significant difference on all characters being recorded.
