Summary

A field experiment to study the response of pop corn (Zea mays Everta) to various levels of nitrogen and plant population was undertaken at the Research Station, Bajaura (HP) during kharif 1974 and 1975. Increases in nitrogen level from 0 to 60 kg N/ha increased grain yield significantly by 54·8%, but yield differences between 60 and 90 kg N/ha were non-significant. Various plant densities did not affect yield significantly. Yield-contributory characters were significantly influenced by treatments and were interrelated with yield under the influence of nitrogen and plant population levels.
