 ABSTRACT

Plant population and dosage of nitrogen fertilizer influences the turcicum leaf blight disease incidence. In this investigation carried out in the farm of ANGRAU and results pertaining to disease severity, grain yield, plant height and plant weight of maize hybrid DHM 111 and evaluated various spacing and nitrogen dosages, those are close spacing (45 X 25 cm, plant population per ha was 88,888), normal spacing (60 X 25 cm, (plant population per ha 66,666) and wide spacing (75 X 25 cm, plant population per ha was 57,142) and with different dose rates of nitrogen fertilizers, 120, 160, 200 & 240 kg/ha accordingly (Table 1).

Key words: Maize, turcicum leaf blight, Exserohilum turcicum, Nitrogen fertilizer, Spacing
