A field experiment entitled "Effect of Nitrogen and Phosphorus Levels on productivity profitability Fodder Maize (Zea mays L.)" was conducted at the Crop research centre-1, School Agriculture, ITM University Gwalior (M.P.) during Kharif season 2022.The laid out in a Factorial randomized block design with 9 treatment combinations, which includes three (viz., N 1 -30 kg N/ha, 2 -60 N/ha 3 -90 N/ha), phosphorous levels P -20 O 5 /ha, -40 /ha /ha) one absolute control, each were replicated thrice.The result revealed that an increase application Phosphorous had significantly increased growth, yield nutrient uptake, quality economics fodder maize viz., plant height (cm), No. leaves per plant, leaf area index, Stem diameter Leaf stem ratio, green yield, dry matter content, uptake (kg ha -1 ), studies Maize, 90 60 superior over 30 20 40 found significant this treatment.
