A field experiment was conducted in Coimbatoire, Tamil Nadu, India, during winter of 1995-96 and 1996-97 to study the effects of organic N sources and N rate (0, 20, 40, and 60 kg/ha) on the growth and yield of maize Co 1. The organic N sources were composted coir pith (6.25 t/ha) and enriched farmyard manure (750 kg/ha) applied as basal and Azospirillum inoculated on seeds and soil.
