Abstract:
To study the influence of organic manures and iron on growth and yield of Babycorn, an experiment was carried out in Kharif-2021, crop research farm of SHUATS. The treatments consist of 3 different levels of organic manures with combination of different levels of iron foliar spray at 20DAS. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with nine treatments each replicated thrice. The result showed that viz: Plant height (176.75cm), number of leaves per plant (11.35) and dry weight (88.42 g/plant) was recorded significantly higher with application of vermicompost 3t/ha + Iron 0.3% foliar spray. Length of cob (17.89cm), cob weight with husk (47.57g/cob) cob yield with husk (9.65 t/ha), cob yield without husk (2.71 t/ha).
