Abstract
A field experiment was carried out during kharif, 2015-16 to evaluate the baby corn based intercropping systems under varying crop geometry. The experiment was laidout in split plot design and replicated thrice. The treatments consisted of three crop geometry levels viz., S1 (45 cm x 20 cm), S2 (60 cm x 15 cm) and S3 (90 cm x 10 cm), and four intercropping practices, viz.,C1 (Sole baby corn), C2 (Baby corn + Coriander), C3 (Baby corn + Amaranthus) and C4 (Baby corn + Fenugreek). The results revealed that the growth parameters (viz., plant height, leaf area index and dry matter production), baby corn yield, green fodder yield and harvest index were significantly higher at 60 cm x 15 cm spacing as compared to 45 cm x 20 cm and 90 cm x 10 cm spacings where as, intercropping of baby corn with leafy vegetables did not influence the growth and yield of baby corn.
