Effect of integrated nutrient management on growth, yield attributes and yield of sweet corn under northern tract condition of Madhya Pradesh

In most areas where corn is sown, the crop growth is usually affected by low available nitrogen. Theexperiment was carried out during 2019Kharif seasons to investigate the effect of integrated nutrientmanagement on growth, yield attributes and yield of sweet corn. The experiment was laid out inrandomized block design with three replicates. Observations were recorded on growth parameters (plant height, dry matter accumulation), yield attributes (number of cobs plant-1, number of rows cob-1,number of grains cob-1, cob length, grain weight cob-1) and green cob yield and stover yield of sweet corn. Revealed that combination of 75% RDF + BF + 25% VC recorded higher mean growth parameters wereplant height (196.4 cm), dry matter (193.45 g plant-1) and yield attributes were number of cobs plant-1(1.60), cob length (20.2 cm),number of rows cob-1 (16.5), number of grains cob-1 (612), grain weight cob-1(126 g) and green cob yield & stover yield (18603 & 9770 kg ha-1, respectively) as compared to rest oftreatments, whereas above parameters lowest under absolute control. The practice of integration of 75%RDF + BF + 25% VC gave maximum net returns of ? 306657 ha-1 compared to other treatments.
