“…Baby corn is a profitable crop that allows a diversification of production, aggregation of value, and increased income. Nutritive value of baby corn is very high as it contains 89.1% moisture, 0.20 g fat, 8.20 mg carbohydrates, 1.90 g protein, 28.0 mg calcium, 86.0 mg phosphorus, 0.10 mg iron, 0.05 mg thiamine, 0.08 mg riboflavin, 11.0 mg ascorbic acid, 0.03 mg niacin etc, per 100 g of edible portion (Das et al, 2008). Baby corn is a nutrient exhaustive crop (Kotru et al, 2012) and due to high planting density, the integrated nutrient management (INM) practice is important to retain productivity of the soil along with heavy returns.…”

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on growth, yield and quality of baby corn (Zea mays L.) on sandy loam soil during the kharif season of 2014. The experiment was laid down in randomized block design having seven treatments (Control, 100% recommended dose of nitrogen, 5 t of farm yard manure+100 kg inorganic nitrogen ha-1 , 10 t of farm yard manure+75 kg inorganic nitrogen ha-1 , 15 t of farm yard manure+50 kg inorganic nitrogen ha-1 , 20 t of farm yard manure+25 Kg inorganic nitrogen ha-1 , 25 t of farm yard manure ha-1) replicated four times. Significant increase in all growth characters, yield contributing characters, yield and fodder yield of baby corn was observed with integrated nutrient management over control. Moreover, among nutrient management treatments, the integration of 5 t of farm yard manure with 100 kg of inorganic nitrogen ha-1 came out to be best for all growth characters viz. plant height, leaf area index. The results obtained with application of 5 t of farm yard manure+100 kg inorganic nitrogen were comparable with recommended dose of nitrogen. Similarly, a significant increase in yield contributing characters, yield and fodder yield were observed with application of 5 t of farm yard manure+100 kg inorganic nitrogen ha-1 , which is also found to be at par with the recommended dose of nitrogen (125 kg ha-1). Further, the above said treatment also gave maximum profit.

“…It is dehusked young ear of the female inflorescence of maize plant, harvested at silk emergence before fertilization (Pandey et al, 2000;Kapoor, 2002). Thavaprakash et al (2005) and Das et al (2008) reported that 100 g of baby corn contained 89.1 g moisture, 0.2 g fat, 1.9 g protein, 8.2 mg carbohydrate, 0.06 g ash, 28.0 mg calcium, 86.0 mg phosphorus, and 11.0 mg of ascorbic acid. Its nutritive value is similar to those of nonleguminous vegetables such as cauliflower, tomato, cucumber and cabbage.…”

The experiment was conducted at agricultural farm of Palli Siksha Bhavana, Visva-Bharati at Sriniketan of Birbhum district, West Bengal during pre-rabi season of 2015 to study the effect of zinc on growth and productivity of baby corn. The soil at experimental site was analysed sandy loam in texture with low in available N, medium in available P 2 O 5 and K 2 O and slightly acidic (p H : 4.78) in nature. The experiment was carried out in RBD with 8 treatments. Each treatment was replicated thrice and the different treatments viz. absolute control, soil application of Zn @ 6 kg ha-1 , soil application of Zn @ 10 kg ha-1 , seed
