Influence of integrated nutrient management

Present study conducted on, ¿Influence of integrated nutrient management on growth, yield and quality of baby corn (Zea mays L.) under Uttarakhand condition¿ during Kharif season of 2016 at the Students¿ Research Farm, Uttaranchal (p.g) College of Bio-Medical Sciences & hospital , Dehradun. Treatments T3 was applied and it remained at par with treatment T2. Treatment T3 (5 tonnes of FYM+100 kg N through inorganic fertilizer) achieved significantly more plant height than all the other treatments. Maximum number of leaves produced by baby corn with the application of treatment T3 was statistically at par with the treatment T2. Similar trend for number of leaves of baby corn as observed at 15 DAS, was followed at 30 DAS among all the treatments applied to baby corn. 45 DAS, treatment T3 (5 tonnes of FYM + 100 kg N through inorganic source) produced significantly more number of leaves per plant of baby corn than all the other treatments but exhibited statistical parity with the treatment T2 and T4. The increase in green cob weight with the application of treatments T3, T2, T4, T5, T6 and T7 was 166%, 156%,147%, 136%, 125%, 113% .
