Effect of Organic and Inorganic Nutrient Management on Growth and Yield of Baby Corn (Zea mays L.) High Density Planting System under Prayagraj Conditions

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at the Crop Research Farm (CRF), Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Zaid season 2020. The experiment comprised of ten treatments of different combinations of organic and inorganic nutrient management replicated thriceina Randomized Block Design. The main objective of the experiment was to evaluate the Influence of organic and inorganic nutrient management on growth and yield of baby corn (Zea mays L.) Prayagraj condition. The three level of nitrogen levels throw organic and inorganic N1 - 100% Nitrogen through Urea, N2 -75% Nitrogen through Urea + 25% Nitrogen through FYM and N3 - 50% Nitrogen through Urea +50% Nitrogen through FYM. Where-as three levels of high density planting system include like S1 - 25 x 15cm, S2 - 35 x 15cm and S3 - 45 x 15 cm. From the present investigation it may be concluded that the profitable production of baby corn can be secured by 50% Nitrogen through Urea + 50% Nitrogen through FYM + 35 x 15 cm (T9 ).
