Abstract:
The field experiment was conducted at Central Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj, (U.P.) during Zaid-2020. The soil of experimental site was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.3), EC (dS m^-1), available N (kg ha^-1), available P (kg ha^-1) and available K (kg ha^-1). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design and having ten treatment consisted of Different sources of Nitrogen levels 100% Nitrogen through urea (N1), 75% Nitrogen through Urea + 25% Nitrogen through FYM (N2), 50% Nitrogen through Urea +50% Nitrogen through FYM (N3) and different row spacing 25 cm x 15 cm (S1), 35 cm x 15 cm (S2) and 45 cm x 15 cm (S3) which are replicated thrice and effect was observed on G-5414 variety of Baby corn. The result shown application of 50% Nitrogen through Urea + 50% Nitrogen through FYM +45 x 15 cm significantly maximum plant height (186.5 cm), application of 50% Nitrogen through Urea + 50% Nitrogen through FYM +35 x 15 cm, Dry Weight (106.08 g), CGR (0.0107 g m^-2/day) in application of 50% Nitrogen through Urea + 50% Nitrogen through FYM +25 x 15 cm, RGR (0.135 g g^-1day^-1) was found maximum value of application of 50% Nitrogen through Urea + 50% Nitrogen through FYM +25 x 15 cm and Number of cobs/plant (1.67), Cobs Length of with husk (44.41 cm) and without husk (22.31 cm), Weight of cobs yield (t/ha) with husk (239.1 kg/ha) and without husk (46.9 kg/ha), Stover yield (22.53 t/ha), 50% Nitrogen through Urea + 50% Nitrogen through FYM +35 x 15 cm. Gross return (INR 4,03,710), Net return (INR 2,86,306), and B:C ratio (3.4) was recorded in N3S3 - 50% Nitrogen through Urea + 50% Nitrogen through FYM + 35 x 15cm.
