Abstract: A field trail was carried out at the research farm of College of Foresrty, SHUATS, Prayagraj. The experimental site situated at an altitude of 90 M above the MSL at 250.57’ N latitude and 810 51’ E longitude. The experiment comprised of nine treatments replicated thrice. The maximum germination percentage (94.27%), plant height (72.10 cm) at 30DAS, 176.37 cm at 60 DAS and 183.67 cm at 90 DAS, number of cob/plant(1.22), ear length (17.90 cm), number of rows/cob (13.78), number of grains/cob (369.33), test weight (216.93), grain yield (q/ha) (38.50), stover yield (69.29) and harvest index (35.73) were recorded in T8 (A Chroococcum+ Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria+Vermicompost (3t/ha) maximize the maize growth and yield under subabul trees. Therefore, it may be concluded that A Chroococcum+ Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria+Vermicompost (3t/ha), can be recommended for growing maize under subabul based agroforestry system for obtaining better growth and yield.
