ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted during summer at Junagadh to study the effect of fertility levels (90-45, 120-60 and 150-75 kg N-P2O5/ha) and proportions of fertilizer and vermicompost on N basis (100:0, 75:25 and 50-50%) on growth and yield of baby corn. The results indicated that growth parameters viz., plant height, dry matter accumulation, leaf area index at 30 DAS, leaf chlorophyll content and stem diameter, and yield attributes viz., cob girth, cob length and fresh cob weight were maximum with application of 150-75 kg N-P2O5/ha, which remained statistically at par with that of 120-60 kg N-P2O5/ha. Application of 150-75 and 120-60 kg N-P2O5/ha significantly increased green baby cob yield (22.09 q/ha) and green fodder yield (180.33 q/ha) over that of 90-45 kg N-P2O5/ha. The results further revealed that application of 75 % N through fertilizer and 25 % N through vermicompost significantly increased growth and yield attributes viz., plant height, dry matter accumulation, crop growth rate during 30 DAS-harvest, leaf area index at 30 DAS, leaf chlorophyll content, stem diameter, number of cobs per plant, cob girth, cob length and fresh cob weight, and ultimately increased green cob yield (24.14 q/ha) and green fodder yield (193.89 q/ha) over that of in 50:50 and 100:0% proportions.
