“…Results from this study revealed that protein was highest in TIS 87/0087/01 (2.67%), followed by UMUSP 2/02 (2.53%), and lowest in SOLO-1/88 (1.54%). This result correlated well with reports credited to Rakesh et al (2017) in some sweet potato cultivars. Studies show that protein content in sweet potato, especially orange fresh sweet potato (OFSP), is comparable to cassava (1.6%) and yam (1.5) (Woolfe, 2008).…”

Sweet potato breeding in Africa, more especially in Nigeria, has mainly focused on improving productivity on farmers' fields and on fresh root consumption. In order to target the breeding program, the study was conducted to estimate the magnitude of genotype × environment interaction (G × E) and to select stable and high yielding sweet potato genotypes for fresh root yield and root Cylas severity in two locations, and to identify the most discriminating and representative test environments in Nigeria. The 41 genotypes were evaluated across two diverse environments using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Data were collected on total number of roots per plant, number and weight of marketable roots per plant, fresh root yield, and root Cylas severity. The data were subjected to analysis of variance using the Generalized Linear Model procedure of SAS 9.2 where genotype was treated as a fixed factor and replication treated as a random variable. Stability analysis was conducted using Genotype and Genotype x Environment Interaction (GGE) bi-plot. Environment, genotype, and G × E interaction variances were highly significant (p < 0.01) among the assessed agronomic traits. Moreover, the analysis of variance revealed highly significant (p < 0.01) differences among genotypes, environments, and G × E interaction effects for all the studied traits. The GGE biplot analyses identified three promising genotypes—G13, G11, and G14—that possess both high mean root yield and high stability, closest to the ideal genotype for root performance and consistency of performance across environments. This study provides valuable information that could be utilized in a breeding program to ameliorate local clones of sweet potato in Nigeria.

“…Santos et al (2014) also found an increase in the number of spikelets harvested with the addition of N in the fertilization of the crop. Nitrogen, for baby corn production, is one of the most important nutrients and constitutes important molecules for plant development, such as amino acids, protein molecules, enzymes, alkaloids, nucleotides, chlorophyll and others, thus increasing crop yield (Kumar et al, 2017). Baby corn yield is directly related to the amount of spikelets produced per plant, the higher the number of spikelets harvested, the higher the yield.…”

Baby corn is a growing crop in the agricultural setting, however there is still a lack of research in the area of fertilization, especially nitrogen fertilization. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of nitrogen fertilization on agronomic yield and quality of baby corn. Outlined in randomized blocks with four replications, the treatments consisted of five levels of nitrogen fertilization (50, 75, 100, 125 and 150%), based on the recommended dose for green corn crop (150 kg ha-1 of N). After harvesting, the following agronomic variables were evaluated: Number, productivity, dry matter, length and diameter of commercial and non-commercial spikelets. And the variables of post-harvest quality were: Soluble Solids, Titratable Acidity, Ratio of soluble solids and titratable acidity, Hydrogen-ion potential and firmness. Nitrogen fertilization at 150 kg ha-1 resulted in an increase in the total number of spikelets per hectare, around 405,000. There was an increase in productivity due to the increasing levels of nitrogen fertilization, with maximum yield of 4.4 t ha-1 at a dose of 165 kg ha-1 of N. The soluble solids content presented a maximum of 10.05 Â° Brix with the N applied to 222 kg ha-1. Nitrogen fertilization around 150 to 165 kg ha-1 increases the agronomic yield of the crop, without affecting its characteristics of quality.

“…One baby corn can measure up to an 'egg' concerning minerals. Hundred gram of baby corn contained 89.1% moisture, 0.2 g fat, 1.9 g protein, 8.2 mg starch, 0.06 g ash, 28.0 mg calcium, 86.0 mg phosphorus, and 11.0 mg of ascorbic acid [2]. India is the fifth-biggest producer of corn on the planet, contributing 3% of worldwide creation across an area of around 9.18 million hectares with a development of 27.23 million tons and a typical efficiency of 2.96 t ha-1.…”

The field experiment was conducted at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agriculture Institute, SHUATS, Prayagraj, UP, during the Zaid season of 2023. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with ten treatment combinations which are replicated thrice. The experiment involves with the biofertilizers like azospirillum(10g and 20g/kg seed),azotobacter(10g and 20g/kg seed) along with biochar(0t/ha,10t/ha,40t/ha). Among the various treatment combinations in (treatment-9) with the application of Azospirillum 10g/kg seed along with Azotobacter 10 g/kg seed and Biochar 40 t/ha significantly recorded higher plant height (117.13 cm), plant dry weight (34.33 g), cobs/plant (1.87), cob length without husk (14.58 cm), cob weight without husk (12.09 g) and cob yield without husk (4.70 t/ha). Maximum gross returns (2,35,000.00 ₹/ha), were obtained in (treatment-9) whereas maximum net returns (1,27,001.00 ₹/ha) and higher benefit cost ratio (1.74) was obtained in (treatment-8) with application of Azospirillum 10g/kg seed along with Azotobacter 10g/kg seed and Biochar 10 t/ha.
