Green Technology For Production Of Baby Corn (Zea mays L) Under North-West Himalayan Conditions

An experiment was conducted at the research farm of Central Institute of Temperate Horticulture, Regional Station, Mukteshwar, Uttarakhand (India), during successive seasons of 2009 and 2010 to investigate the effect of different biofertilizers and organic manure on growth and yield of baby corn wit h the aim to develop green technology for baby corn production. The variety VL-78 was used as experimental material and treatments consisted of various combinations of bacterial biofertilizers viz. Azospirillum, Bacillus megaterium var phosphaticum and Frateuria aurentia and organic manures. Biofertilizers significantly increased yield and yield attributing characters. The best treatment ide ntified was Vermicompost (1.92 kg/bed) + Biospirillum (10ml/kg of seed) + Biophos (10ml/kg of seed) + biopotash (10ml/kg of seed) where yield of baby corn was recorded 18.57 q/ha. This treatment also showed increase in leaf chlorophyll content.
