It was revealed by The two main reasons for enhancing Prasad and Brooks that the growth and micronutrients in grains of staple crops are leaf area of corn directly affected by improving production and nutritional quality intercropping of corn with soybean.

Improvement of yield and Sekara et al. Crop yield, quality and health chicory, common parsnip and alfalfa to of human beings as well as domestic animals are evaluate the copper and zinc uptake and greatly disturbed due to the deficiency of allocation of these nutrients in the plant tissues. The yield Red beet and field pumpkin were with highest losses in wheat were much high if zinc zinc accumulation, especially in the leaves deficiency is there with prevailing drought Zinc application respectively.

Leaves, grain and maize roots contained was reported by Vesterager et al. Zeb and Arif kg-1 dry weight, respectively. The maize stem evaluated the effect of different contained the lowest zinc content ratios.

Furlani application methods of zinc application on yield et al. According to Hosseini et al. They concluded that soil nutrient. Reddy and Reddi reported that applied zinc 15 kg ha-1 resulted in high yield the growth and yield of maize was improved and yield attributes of maize. Shivay et al. Efficiency of internal nitrogen does not yield of grain and straw and zinc uptake by rice. Seed pelleting with leaf due to the use of Zn in leaves. Due to a Zn ZnSO4 mg kg-1 seed produced seeds with and B antagonism, top amounts of Zn in the higher seed weights, seed weight per plant soils, prevented from increase of blade B leading to Concentration in the leaf.

Kanwal et al. MUNGBEAN evaluated the effect of optimum doses of Mungbean is being used as food and protein zinc sulphate for selected maize hybrids and supplements. It is being cooked with vegetables, synthetic cultivars. It was concluded that grain incorporated with bread and cakes, used as zinc contents were found in hybrid as compared boiled or roasted in syrup.

It is also generally to synthetic variety. Potarzycki used for vegetable dishes and sprout for egg concluded that at anthesis stage zinc has a rolls. By using zinc and sulphur, nutritional significant impact on chlorophyll index of maize quality of mungbean can be increased, as its leaf in cob and noted the role of zinc protein contents such as methionine and physiologically in nitrogen management.

It was cysteine are increased. However, consumption of legume 3rd and 5th week after seeding in maize plants protein is under potential due to less availability and before seeding, zinc sulfate solution was of essential amino acids in protein and also due applied to soil.

Zinc concentration in plant was to some other factors like anti-nutritional increased by both methods but soil application features related to proteins. Its protein isolates was better than foliar one. It increased the zinc have been utilized for many functions like contents in maize plant by mg kg Aref emulsification, foaming and water absorption. There was an antagonistic components El-Adaway, It was found Mungbean which is commonly known as green that absence of B agreeable in the clay zero and gram is an essential pulse crop of Pakistan.

However, parameters of mungbean. Cowpea produced mungbean does not grow well in water logged higher forage as compared with cluster bean and soils. The average grain yield of Pakistan is rice bean with maize Iqbal et al.

Guan et Southeastern India between Krishna and al. Mungbean is rich in results Thalooth et al. Ryan and El- amino acid like Lysine, which is usually Moneim, found that the increase in the deficient in cereals. Although it has a number of Zn level caused increased grain yield in returns in terms of crop management and food mungbean. But bean Phaseolus vulgaris L.

Plants take nutrients by roots Mungbean is a pulse crop under but these nutrients can be supplied with the help leguminoseae family, grown only for its seeds of foliar application. This method is new and rich in protein. It is a C3 plant that was invented notorious one; nutrients are applied in form of in indo-Burma areas of Asia. As it is fast liquid directly to leaves of plants Baloch et al. For chickpea Harris et al. The essential life process in plants without any application of nitrogenous which are influenced by Zinc are a nitrogen fertilizers, as mungbean is capable of fixing metabolism i.

It enhances fertility status through activity and synthesis of chlorophyll; c fixing atmospheric nitrogen in soil by kg resistance against abiotic and biotic stresses i.

Mungbean is used for oxidative damage resistance Alloway, Similar good results were ; Kaisher et al. Mungbean holds an important leaves per plant, and yield related attributes i.

Pathak and experiment that higher grain yield was recorded Pandey, by foliar application of zinc for Zn 1. Foliar application of Zinc also improvement of crop yield and production. The use of Ali and Mahmoud found significant Cu and Zn significantly improve maize grain increase in yield relating attributes ha-1 as yield, dry matter production of maize, uptake compared to control.

Manivasagaperumal et al. Ali et al. Li et al. Ennin et al. Shojaei and Makarian grain yield of maize was improved by investigated the application of nano-sized and intercropping of maize with soybean with non-nano zinc oxide ZnO through foliar alternative rows with single row planting caused appliance on yield and yield related traits of increase in green fodder yield and total dry mungbean.

Hence this is very general, synergistic of plant growth and nutrient crucial issue in South Asia where due to poverty concentration are antagonistic in nature. It was Abdo reported that the foliar reported by Egbe et al. Seed coating is a unique plant biomass ear length and diameter of ear in practice, by use of different materials such as corn.

Hamdollah, reported that maize fertilizers, plant growth hormones, nutritious intercropping with cowpea in double row strips essentials and pesticides are applied to seed by results in higher crude proteins, green fodder adhesive agents, which aid the seed to increase yield and total dry matter yield.

Corn matter, excess salts, high pH, coarse texture and has been grown in intercropping with various more sodium adsorption ratio on cation legumes to improve crop yield and production exchange site of soil particles. Zinc deficiency is Ijoyah, Rashid and Rafique, Hu et al.

Latha Tariq et al. It also increased zinc level in soil, caused the change in uptake of NPK and micro- grains and leaves of maize. Highest grain yield nutrients at various growth stages of corn i. The application of Zn caused the was used. Wenger et al. They found that only a small amount of Gupta et al.

Zinc is very essential micronutrient 2. It is two foliar applications of 0. Zn and N contents many metabolic reactions in all crops. Growth of the seed were also increased. In developing countries among concentration taken up by the plants although top 10 leading life risking factors zinc more increase in Zn application did not increase deficiency ranks at 5th.

Even on worldwide scale the dry matter Obrador et al. According to WHO, 8,00, deaths in half of total, especially children and women are whole world each year are attributed to suffering from micronutrients starvation in deficiency of zinc and there is loss 28 million developing countries, the so-called hidden lives per annum Anonymous, Physiological In plants, deficiency of zinc not only decreases impacts of micronutrients regarding many body the quality but also the yield of crop.

Hence the functions are very complicated. Deficiency of agronomic practices and soil environment Zinc poses very serious threat to immune should be conductive to the occurrence of system impairment and other consequences, micronutrient deficiency in plants.

Production of increased occurrence of other childhood low micronutrient products has created infections like diarrhea and pneumonia, poor problems about micronutrient deficiency related growth and development. Zinc deficiency is the most extensive disorder In barley seed priming with zinc enhanced the among various crops.

This deficiency of germination and seedling growth. Seed priming micronutrient regularly occurs in maize which is also caused marked increase in mineral Zn and very prone to low zinc supply Tariq et al. Zn application increased the yield and barley Ajouri et al. March Volume 2 Article 1 Received 12 January Revised 28 February Published 16 March water solubility and are not a good and efficient plants.

These include soil application, foliar for plants. They observed that with passage of spray and priming. All these methods have some time as residual Zn; more zinc became available merits and demerits Ali et al. Treating seed with al. In crop productivity, the micronutrients is a simple and economical unavailability of crop nutrients is one of major method for improvement of micronutrients in problem.

There is deficiency of both micro and plant nutrition Johnson et al. Foliar macro nutrients, that can be achieved through application of micronutrient is more efficient many management practices Ali et al. Zinc is taken in the form of Divalent Cation and In aleurone layer and embryo, seed stores more is very vital for healthy growth of plants, zinc contents, while this concentration become humans and animals.

It is also involved in lowers in endosperm of the seed Ozturk et al. Soil acidification may be resulted due to enzymes like Aldolase, dehydrogenases and application of S containing fertilizers and this isomerases.

It is also involved in energy may eventually affect the availability of many production in Krebs cycle. Inadequate solution for 16 h has improved grain yield, amount of zinc reduces the yield and quality of crop growth and grain zinc contents. Zinc and phosphorous plays an Application of higher doses of zinc as zinc antagonistic effect to each other in soil and oxide for acidic and alkaline soil, than that of plant. As soil uptake for phosphorus is increased normal soils, caused increase in yield of wheat the uptake for zinc is reduced.

Hence, to have Shaheen et al. Similar results were better crop yield quality efficient utilization of found by Abd-El-Hady for barley grown zinc is an essential requirement Mousavi et al. Cakmak The only factor in many crop plants. Among many other possible solution is to overcome this problem micronutrients, zinc is constituent of many were agronomic biofortification of diet with enzymes, and holds competent position in zinc and genetic bio fortification.

Soil and seed Agronomic approach is time efficient to application of micronutrients has given very minimize zinc deficiency in population across much promising results in many crops Farooq the world. By adopting distinctive application et al. Seed The authors declare that the research was treatments with micronutrients can be conducted in the absence of any commercial or performed either by soaking the seeds in the financial relationships that could be construed as solution containing micronutrients or by seed a potential conflict of interest.

Zinc in Soils and Crop Emergence of disease is favored by high temperatures and extended periods of wet and cloudy weather - seedlings and mature plants are most susceptible to the disease.

Plant hybrids resistant to anthracnose; rotating crops and plowing crop debris into soil may help reduce incidence of early season infections. Small necrotic spots with chlorotic halos on leaves which expand to rectangular lesions cm in length and mm wide; as the lesions mature they turn tan in color and finally gray; lesions have sharp, parallel edges and are opaque; disease can develop quickly causing complete blighting of leaves and plant death.

Brown Spots with yellow rings throughout the leaf during the growing period of the Cassava 2. Lesions that are 0. Serious cases can lead to holes throughout the lesions on the leaf. Disease emergence is favored in areas where a corn crop is followed by more corn with no rotastion; severity and incidence of disease is likely die to continuous corn culture with minimum tillage and the use of susceptible hybrids in in the midwestern corn belt of the USA; prolonged periods of foggy or cloudy weather can cause severe Cercopora epidemics.

Plant corn hybrids with resistance to the disease; crop rotation and plowing debris into soil may reduce levels of inoculum in the soil but may not provide control in areas where the disease is prevalent; foliar fungicides may be economically viable for some high yeilding susceptible hybrids.

Singular, or closely grouped circular to irregularly shaped holes in foliage; heavy feeding by young larvae leads to skeletonized leaves; shallow, dry wounds on fruit; egg clusters of eggs may be present on the leaves; egg clusters are covered in a whitish scale which gives the cluster a cottony or fuzzy appearance; young larvae are pale green to yellow in color while older larvae are generally darker green with a dark and light line running along the side of their body and a pink or yellow underside.

Leaf damage is usually characterized by ragged feeding, and moist sawdust-like frass near the funnels and upper leaves of the plant. Leaf damage is usually scattered in rows across the leaf 3. Younger larvae usually eat tissue from one side, leaving the other side in tact. This is what creates windows in the leaf 4. Deep feeding may may destroy maize tassels. Caterpillars enter through the side of the ear and feed on developing kernels. Organic methods of controlling the armyworm include biological control by natural enemies which parasitize the larvae and the application of Bacillus thuringiensis ; there are chemicals available for commercial control but many that are available for the home garden do not provide adequate control of the larvae.

Inside the infected stalk. Charcoal rot infected stalk. Corn stalk infected with charcoal rot. Damaged stalk. Black fruiting body of fungus on infected corn stalk. Infected stalk. Charcoal stalk rot of field corn Macrophomina phaseolina.

Symptoms are usually first apparent at the tasseling stage; plant stalks become shredded and pith is completely rotted with stringy strands of vascular tissue left intact; small, black fungal fruiting bodies are visible in the vascular strands and give the tissue a gray coloration; fungus grows into internodes of the stalk causing the plant to ripen early and causing the stalk to weaken; plant may break.

Emergence of the disease is favored by warm soils with a low moisture content; fungus overwinters in the soil and can also survive on other host plants which include sorghum and soybean. Management There are currently no available fungicides to treat the disease; avoid stressing plants by practicing good water management; rotating crops with small grains may help reduce disease incidence. Common corn rust. Rust symptoms on corn foliage. Common rust infected corn leaf.

Corn rust Puccinia sorghi. Close-up of rust pustules on corn leaf. Rust pustules on corn leaf. Oval or elongated cinnamon brown pustules on upper and lower surfaces of leaves; pustules rupture and release powdery red spores; pustules turn dark brown-black as they mature and release dark brown powdery spores; if infection is severe, pustules may appear on tassels and ears and leaves may begin to yellow; in partially resistant corn hybrids, symptoms appear as chlorotic or necrotic flecks on the leaves which release little or no spore.

Disease is spread by wind-borne spores; some of the most popularly grown sweet corn varieties have little or no resistance to the disease.

Management The most effective method of controlling the disease is to plant resistant hybrids; application of appropriate fungicides may provide some degree on control and reduce disease severity; fungicides are most effective when the amount of secondary inoculum is still low, generally when plants only have a few rust pustules per leaf.

So there is quite a huge demand for the food crop and its many products which is why it makes business sense to start a maize farming business. In this article we shall be looking at some essential knowledge areas that you must acquaint yourself with before you start the maize farming business, the maize farming business plan — PDF, Word and Excel.

Maize farming is a lucrative business, providing income for millions of people, but there are some essential things you need to do before you venture into the corn farming business. You have to make a decision on how many hectares you want to farm, which type of maize you will farm, which season you are going to plant your maize, and your target market. These choices will be affected by the amount of capital you have, and the size of your target market.

If you do not have a lot of capital, you can always start small and grow your maize farming business overtime. At what price? As indicated earlier, maize is also known as corn in other parts of the world. Type of soil is an important factor for a good maize harvest. Maize can be grown in a variety of soil types. However it needs soil which is fertile and well drained.

Another important factor is the pH of the soil, as it affects the availability of nutrients. If the pH is lower than this, the maize produced will be of poor quality, and it may experience abnormal growth.

Thus the pH of soil for maize should be close to neutral or slightly acidic. If the pH is too acidic, lime should be added to increase the pH of the soil to between pH Other properties of good soil for maize include: sufficient and balanced quantities of plant nutrients, good internal soil drainage, good moisture, and good effective depth of the soil.

Your corn farming business plan should take into account the cost of purchasing or renting the land. Land preparation must be properly done to ensure the soil is ready for the maize. The type of machinery and equipment needed for your maize farming business depends on the scale of production. For small scale this can be done using hand-held equipment whereas for medium to large scale heavy machinery such as tractors are needed.

Machinery and equipment which maybe needed include tractors, combine harvesters, fertilizer spreader equipment, irrigation equipment, spray equipment etc. Most farmers usually hire big machinery like tractors when they want to use them, rather than purchasing them outright as they are expensive. Adequate water supply is also important meaning that irrigation maybe necessary. However maize farming can also be done without irrigation in areas which have a good supply of rainfall.

There may also be need of grid hydroelectricity energy for the irrigation systems, standby diesel generators for use during power outages, or solar powered irrigation systems. Farmers especially in the rural areas who do not have the modern farming equipment use animal drawn equipment in maize farming. The higher the level of mechanization at your corn farm, the higher the efficiency of your operations, and the profitability of your maize farming business. The maize farming business plan should include the costs of acquiring and hiring the various machinery and equipment.

You require various farming inputs when doing maize farming. You'll be able to set the levels for difficulty, size, and style. You'll also be able to include a solution key or leave it off.
