Abstract

Aim: The study was conducted to assess the influence the effect of humic acid levels on phenology and dry matter partitioning and randamized complete block design RCBD having three replications of maize (Zea mays L).

Materials and Methods: The experiment was consisted of five humic acid levels (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 kg ha-1).

Results: The response of humic acid levels was significant to different phenological traits like days to tasseling, silking and days to maturity.

Conclusion: It was concluded that overall 15 kg ha-1 of humic acid showed best performance.
