The variations among different varieties were not significant both in yield and dry matter yields. However gange-5 may be considered to be a little superior to others due to its better uptake in either extract and zinc and higher cellulose digestability ganga safed-2 may be considered equally good due to its better performance in calcium concentration and uptake. Nitrogen effect was significant upto 80 kg/ha N level both in green and DM yields. THe concentration of none of the chemical constituents was significantly affected by the nitrogen levels except that of zinc which was negatively correlated with N levels. Zinc effect was not significant both in green and D.M yield but the zinc concentration was significant improved from 13.61 PPM at 5.0 kg Zn so4 level through 14.33 PPM at 10 kg to 17.67 PPM at 15 kg levels. On the other hand calcium content decreased with every increasing level of zinc.

A field experiment consisting of three nitrogenous sources (FYM, Slurry and urea) under five levels (0,30,60,90 and 120 kg N/ha) was conducted on fodder maize and their residual effect were studied on chinese cabbage in the succeding season. Green yield of maize did not increase appreciably beyond 60 kg N/ha Neither of the three sources afected green yield and remained at par. With regard to dry matter yield a similar resuct was obtained. The yield atributes also improved upto 60 kg N/ha dose in maize. Studying residual effect it was revealed that there was increase in green yield by 18 and 22 per cent over control at 90 and 120 kg N/ha respectively. In case of dry matter the treatment effects were at par slurry application to maize showed the best performance in succeding season over FYM and urea. Growth parameters also increased in chinese cabbage by slurry application to maize quality parameters in maize were not influenced by either doses or sources of nitrogen. Residual effect of nitrogen sources did not show appreciable difference in crude protein production in chinese cabbage. Phosphorus uptake in maize was maximum with urea only phosphorus by FYM and slurry. Slurry was found to be a better source of soil amendment as compared to farm yard manure in succeding season.
