Question: The seed rate of hybrid maize is..? (CG ADA 2020)
Options:
20-25 kg/hectare
18-20 kg/hectare
30-35 kg/hectare
10-15 kg/hectare
✅Explanation:
The seed rate refers to the quantity of seeds required to sow a unit area of land, usually expressed in kilograms per hectare (kg/ha). The seed rate for hybrid maize typically ranges from 20-25 kg/ha. This range can vary slightly depending on the specific hybrid variety, environmental conditions, and desired plant population density.
-Optimum plant population in Kharif = 65000-70000 plants/ha.
-For composite variety = 15-20 kg seed/ha.
-For fodder purpose = 40-50 kg/ha.
-Spacing = 60×20 cm (RxP).
