Abstract
Field experiments were conducted at Eastern Block of Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Allahabad School of Agriculture SHIATS, UP during Zaid 2014 (March to July) and Zaid 2015 (March to July) seasons to study the impact of short duration legume intercrops and Organic Nutrient Management practices on yield and yield component of baby corn. Short duration intercrops (greengram and clusterbean) along with control (no intercrop) were taken in main plot. Different sources of organic manure and their combination [goat manure at the rate of 4615.3 kg ha-1 (M1), Poultry manure at the rate of 4800 kg ha-1 (M2), FYM at the rate of 24000 kg ha-1 (M3), goat manure + poultry manure (M4), goat manure + FYM (M5) and poultry manure + FYM (M6)] were assigned to sub plot in a split plot design. The experiment was replicated thrice. Yield and yield attributes viz., cob girth, number of cob per plant, cob length with husk and without husk, cob weight with husk and without husk, cob yield and green fodder yield were significantly higher at in intercropping babycorn with component crops. Whereas, substitution of poultry manure alone or either in combination with goat manure and FYM had significant influence on all yield parameters and also yield of cob and fodder of baby corn. Yield levels of intercrops were higher as compare to sole babycorn.
