earthing up of maize

Earthing up
Earthing up, sometimes called ridging up, is putting earth round the collar, or crown, of plants
With certain plants, such as maize and millet, adventitious roots then grow in the mound of earth.

Earthing up is an essential operation especially in maize crop. This prevents the
plant from lodging with better stand ability. Moreover, it also provides anchorage of the lower whorls of adventitious roots above the soil level which then function as
absorbing roots. Earthing up improves yield but is labor intensive and it is done by
hand with a hoe, spade etc. by farmers. Top dressing of fertilizer in maize and
other row crops is done by broadcasting method manually which results in low
fertilizer use efficiency. Broadcasting of fertilizers, especially P and K, results in
fixation problems due to more soil contact while applied N is lost due to
volatilization. Usman et al. 2002 recommended that earthing up before bud formation is necessary for obtaining higher returns from sun flower with respect to seed yield.
