Abstract Pot experiment was conducted in Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry of Cuddalore district , Tamil Nadu .The soil classified as TypicHaplustertshaving clay loam texture .The available nutrient status was low in N ,high in P and medium in K.The treatments considered of T_1 - Control 100 % RDF,T_2 - 100 % RDF + Municipal Solid Waste Compost @ 5 〖t ha〗^(-1), T_3-100 % RDF + Municipal Solid Waste Compost @ 10〖 t ha〗^(-1) ,T_4 -100 % RDF + Vermicompost @ 2.5 〖t ha〗^(-1) ,T_5 -100 % RDF + Vermicompost @ 5 〖t ha〗^(-1) ,T_6 -100 % RDF + Bagasse Ash @ 5 〖t ha〗^(-1) ,T_7 - 100 % RDF + Bagasse Ash @ 10 〖t ha〗^(-1) ,T_8 - 100 % RDF + Lignite Flyash @ 5 〖t ha〗^(-1),T_9 - 100 % RDF + Lignite Flyash @ 10 〖t ha〗^(-1). All the pots were applied with recommended dose of fertilizers 135:62.5 :50 of N: P2 O5: K2O 〖Kg ha〗^(-1). The highest grain yield of 416.8 〖g pot〗^(-1)and stover yield of 545.9 gpot^(-1)was obtained with treatment T_5 receiving 100 % RDF + Vermicompost @ 5 〖t ha〗^(-1). The highest nitrogen uptake in grain ( 6.09 〖g pot〗^(-1) ) and stover ( 2.268 〖g pot〗^(-1) ) , phosphorus uptake of grain (1.060 〖g pot〗^(-1) ) and stover (0.615 〖g pot〗^(-1) ) , potassium uptake of grain (1.157 〖g pot〗^(-1) ) and stover (3.976 〖g pot〗^(-1) ) registered due to the application of 100 % RDF + Vermicompost @ 5 〖t ha〗^(-1) (T_5 ).

Key words:Maize , Municipal Solid Waste Compost , Vermicompost , Bagasse Ash , Lignite Flyash.
