Effect of Potassium and Iron on Growth and Yield of Summer Baby corn (Zea mays L.)

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: The Treatments consists of 2 levels of Potassium viz. K1(40 kg K2O/ha), K1(50 kg K2O/ha) and 4 levels of Iron viz.10 and 20 kg/ha as basal and 0.1 and 0.2% as foliar application. There were 9 treatments each being replicated thrice and laid out in Randomized Block Design. The results revealed that treatment T8 (50kgs potassium + 0.2% iron) recorded maximum Dry weight, Number of cobs per plant, cob length, cob girth , cob weight without husk, cob yield without husk, Green fodder and B: C ratio.
