Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to study the “Influence of different sources of liming materials on cob characteristics of maize grown in acid soil of Odisha†in the village Bajpur of Khorda district during kharif, 2013. The soil was ameliorated with three different sources of liming materials i.e paper mill sludge, stromatolyte & calcium silicate added with soil test based recommended dose with or without FYM. The application of liming materials alone increases the cob length, diameter & seed/cob up to 17.1 cm, 13.6 cm & 68.7g respectively where was the combine application of liming materials with organic manure increases the cob length, diameter & seed/cob more i.e 17.6 cm, 13.9 cm & 75.4g respectively. The application of paper mill sludge mixed with soil test based recommended dose & FYM is the best treatment which gives the higher cob length, diameter & seed/cob i.e 17.6 cm, 13.9 cm & 75.4g respectively. The double dose of stromatolyte gives the higher cob length, diameter & seed/cob compare to the application of single dose of stromatolyte in both alone and mixed with FYM. There was very short cob length (11.0 cm), diameter (10.2 cm) & very less seeds/cob (22.8 g) was seen in the absolute control compare to the all the treatments.
