ABSTRACT
A field research trial was conducted in Dr. P.D. Krishi Vidyapeeth, Agronomy Farm in semi-arid climatic condition of Vidarbha in Akola, to study the effect of land layout and nitrogen management practices on rainfed sweet corn. Results revealed that the land layout treatment sowing on ridges and N management by soil test report (STR) approach technique (150:60:60 NPK kg/ha) (25 % additional N) recorded the highest values of growth and yield attributes, followed by opening of furrows in each row at 20 days after sowing, opening of furrow in alternate row at 20 Days after sowing. The recommended dose of nitrogen through inorganic fertilizer (120:60:60 NPK kg/ha) also resulted higher growth and yield attributes. Sowing on flat bed and application of nitrogen (N) through vermicompost and 50 % N through Urea + 50% N through vermicompost does not show much significant effect on growth and yield attributes but somewhat on quality attributes of sweet corn.
Key words :
Flat bed, Ridges and furrow, Soil test report approach, Sweet corn, Urea , Vermicompost.
