The experiment was conducted to find out the planting method and nitrogen level for enhancing the seed yield of fodder maize (Zea mays L.). The treatment comprised of three planting methods as zero tillage (ZT), conventional tillage (CT) and bed planting (BP) and four nitrogen levels (0, 100, 125 and 150 kg N/ha. The results revealed that plant height, shelling percentage, seed and stover yield were not varied significantly with the various methods of establishment. It shows the fodder maize can be sown with ZT and BD rather sowing with conventional tillage. Successive increase of 25% N/ ha has significantly increased the seed and stover yield of maize with which significantly higher values of plant height, stover yield and shelling percentage was obtained with 150 kg N/ha. It can be concluded that the fodder maize can be sown by ZT with the application of 150 kg N/ ha for higher productivity by skipping the tillage operations at the time of sowing.
