Abstract
A field experiment on baby corn was conducted at Boudgaun, Sindhupalchowk, Nepal to identify effect of different combinations of organic and inorganic fertilizers on yield and yield attributes of baby corn during kharif season of 2017. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with eight treatments and three replications. The treatments were different combinations of vermicompost, farm yard manure and chemical fertilizers. Results revealed that yield and yield attributes were statistically different among treatments. Yield and yield attributing characters viz., length and weight of baby corn with and without husk in first three harvests of baby corn were found significantly superior in treatment with 75% vermicompost and 25% inorganic fertilizers. In contrast, root length and plant height of baby corn were found significantly superior in treatment with 75% FYM and 25% chemical fertilizers. The results signified that performance of yield and yield attributes of baby corn was superior in organic source and best over application of vermicompost.
