Abstract: Field experiment was conducted at Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur during kharif, 2017 to study the performance of maize under different lateral arrangement and nutrient management practices using drip irrigation system. The lateral arrangement and conventional practice and four nutrient management (50, 100, 150% RDF and STCR- based fertilizer recommendation) were included as treatments in this study. Crop imposed with lateral at 45 cm (W1) recorded maximum grain yield, yield attributing characters and water use efficiency than rest of the treatments. In respect to nutrient management STCR- based fertilizer recommendation (N4) recorded maximum grain yield and yield attributing characters and it was found statistically at par with 150% RDF (N3). Gross return and net return were higher under lateral arrangement at 45 cm (W1), whereas B:C ratio was higher under conventional practice (W3). In respect to nutrient management the gross return net return and B:C ratio were higher under STCR- based fertilizer recommendation (N4). Maize crop responded well to higher dose of fertilizer and STCR- based fertilizer recommendation is more quantitative, precise and meaningful because maize as a plant having higher nutritive demand. The results of this study revealed that, lateral arrangement at 45 cm (W1) with STCR- based fertilizer recommendation (N4) could be the optimal management practice for getting higher yield and economical returns of maize.
