The present study was aimed at evaluating the effect of different organic manures viz farmyard manure, vermicompost and neem cake on the growth and yield of baby corn under single spacing pattern (55 x 25 cm) in a poplar-based agroforestry system. Two varieties (HIM-123 and DHM-107) were tested for few parameters viz plant height, crop growth rate, collar diameter, number of cobs per plant, cob length, cob girth and cob yield. Influence of vermicompost was significantly observed in both the varieties investigated and found to be the best performer in the experiment followed by farmyard manure and neem cake.
