Growth and production of maize with several land tillage system and plant density treatments

Abstract

Abstract Tillage system is one of the land preparation activities which aims to create suitable environmental conditions for plant growth. The study aimed to determine the growth and production of hybrid corn with several tillage system and seeds density. The study was arranged with a split design experiment. The main plot was tillage system which consisted of no tillage (NT), minimum tillage (MiT), maximum tillage (MaT). Subplot was the seeds density (number of seeds per hole) consisting of one seed, two seeds, and three seeds. The total of 9 treatment combinations were repeated 3 times, making a total of 27 experimental units. The results showed that perfect tillage treatment gave the highest yield of unpeeled cobs (218.30 g), cob diameter (44.10 mm) and production per hectare (6.00 tons).
