Worldwide there is growing interest in the use of organic fertilizer due to depletion in the soil fertility because continuous use of chemical fertilizers create potential polluting effect due to chemicals in the environment considering same the present investigation entitled “Effect of application of FYM and chemical fertilizers on yield and proximate analysis of maize green fodder” was conducted at Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairy Science, Post Graduate Institute, Dr PDKV, Akola for period 90 Days. Three treatments were studied namely T1 – Nutrient management through organic manure and bio-pesticide for maize fodder, T2 –Nutrient management through fertilizer and IPM for xv maize fodder and T3 – Nutrient management through fertilizer and pesticide for maize fodder. After 90 days of experiment fodder grown were analyzed for yield and proximate composition of maize green fodder. The mean yield of maize green fodder under treatment T1, T2 and T3 was 30.25, 31.29 and 31

FYM, Chemical fertilizer, Maize green fodder, Yield, Chemical composition.

From the results obtained in present study it is concluded that the effect of FYM and chemical fertilizer application on yield and proximate composition of maize green fodder was found statistically significant and non significant, respectively.
