Abstract:
The field experiment conducted on Effect of different doses of N and farm yard manure on quality of baby corn (Zea mays L.) under Uttarakhand condition at the Students’ Research Farm Uttaranchal (PG) College of Bio-Medical Sciences & hospital, Dehradun during the Kharif season of 2016. The experiment was carried out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) having 7 treatments viz. T₁ (Control), T₂ (100 percent of recommended inorganic N), T₃ (5 tonnes of FYM ha^-1 + 100 kg inorganic N ha^-1), T₄ (10 tonnes of FYM ha^-1 + 75 kg inorganic N ha^-1) , T₅ (15 tonnes of FYM ha^-1 + 50 kg inorganic N ha^-1) T₆ (20 tonnes of FYM ha^-1 + 25 kg inorganic N ha^-1)and T₇ (25 tonnes of FYM ha^-1)with four replications. It revealed that application of combined FYM and chemical fertilizers in a exacting combination through treatments having integrated nutrient management might have resultant timely and proper availability of nutrients which improved the soil physical and chemical properties and also increased the TSS content in baby corn significantly. It also concluded that increase in protein content may be due to availability of N in plants at proper time and in appropriate amount by the mean of treatments involving integrated nutrient management or recommended dose of N.
