Abstract
Back Ground: Baby corn maize (Zea mays L.) is a highly profitable alternative to farmers due to its short crop duration, being harvested at the juvenile stage. It demands large amounts of nutrients in a short time. Iron micronutrients gives higher yield as they play major role in assimilation rate and metabolic activities in plant. Biofertilizers are required to restore the fertility of the soil. Prolonged use of chemical fertilizers degrades the soil and affects baby corn yield. Objectives: Effect of iron and bio-fertilizers on growth and yield of baby corn. Methods: With the goal of studying the effect of iron and bio-fertilizers on growth and yield of Baby corn (Zea mays L.) Var. ABV - 04 under a Randomized block design with 8 treatments (T1-T8).The experimental results revealed that 0.5% FeSO4 (3g/lit of water) + Azotobacter seed inoculation (200 g/10kg of seed) produced maximum plant height (185.27), number of leaves/plant(12.58),plant dry weight (89.28) and yield parameters cobs/plant (2.34), cob weight without husk (12.34g), cob yield with husk(10.81 t/ha), and cob yield without husk(3.91t/ha). Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, it is concluded that 0.5 percent FeSO4 (5g/lit of water) + Azotobacter seed inoculation (200 g/10kg of seed) can ensure the profitable production of baby corn. These practises could be passed on to farmers to help them earn more money in this agro-climatic zone. Based on the findings of this study, it is concluded that 0.5 percent FeSO4(5g/lit of water) + Azotobacter seed inoculation (200 g/10kg of seed) can ensure the profitable production of baby corn. These practises could be passed on to farmers to help them earn more money in this agro-climatic zone.
