Study of Performance of Baby Corn at Different Combination Organic and Inorganic Fertilizers in Mid Hills of Nepal
Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: A field experiment on Baby Corn was conducted at Boudgaun, Sindhupal chowk, Nepal to identify effect of different combination 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 are different combination of vermicompost, farm yard manure and chemical fertilizers.Result revealed that yield and yield attributes are statistically different among treatments.Yield and yield attributing character viz.length and weight of baby corn with and without husk in first three harvest of baby corn were found significantly superior in treatment with 75% vermi-compost 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 result signifies that performance of yield and yield attributes of baby corn is superior in organic source and best over application of vermicompost.
