ABSTRACT.
A field experiment was conducted to determine
the response of two maize varieties to different nitrogen levels at research
farm o 'Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike. Four nitrogen rates
consisting of 0 kg N/ha, 40 kg N/ha, 80 kg N/ha, 120 kg N/ha and two varieties
of maize (Oba Super I and Bende White) were used in this study. The
experimental design was a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three
replications. The data collected were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA)
and means were separated by the standard error of difference (s.e.d). The ANOVA
showed that the grain yield was not significantly (P>0.05) affected by
varieties. However, grain yield increased with increase in N applied up to 120
kg N/ha. Based on these findings, Oba super I the highest yielding varieties
may be recommended to be grown in this part of the country.
