A Review on Impact of Tillage and Nutrient Management on Maize Production in Indian Scenario

Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important cereal crop for food, feed and fodder. It is not only an important food crop for human but also a basic element of animal feed, fodder and raw material for manufacturing of many industrial products. The industrial products include mainly corn starch, malto-dextrins, corn oil, corn syrup and products of fermentation and distilleries. It is also being recently used in the production of biofuel. Therefore, owing to its various uses, maize is known as a ‘Queen of Cereals’. In term of area, maize is the third most important staple food crop in the world after wheat and rice but in term of productivity, it ranks first followed by rice, wheat and other millets. In India, maize is cultivated on 8.69 million hectare area with production and productivity of 21.81 million tonnes and 2509 kg/ha, respectively (Agriculture Research Data Book, ICAR, 2017).
