Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during rabi, 2005 on sandy loam soils on integrated nitrogen management for baby corn. Application of 100 per cent N through fertilizer (T1) has resulted in highest baby corn yield and N uptake. However, the post harvest soil fertility status was improved with 100 per cent N through farmyard manure (T2) or sheep manure (T4) or poultry manure (T3). The maximum net return and benefit: cost ratio were recorded with 100 per cent N through fertilizers (T1).
