Title
The effect of compost and inorganic fertiliser application on baby corn performance.
Jaime A. Teixeira da Silva; Pasquale Viola; J. S. Tenywa; et al. 2011
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect The 200 kg ha-1 inorganic NPK rate gave taller baby corn plants.
- Intervention effect Stem diameter did not differ significantly among the twelve fertilizer treatments.
- Intervention effect The twelve basal fertilizer rates gave the same gross yields.
- Intervention effect The 200 kg ha-1 inorganic fertilizer produced higher exportable yields.
- Intervention effect Adding compost permitted a significant reduction in inorganic fertilizer without compromising baby corn yields.
- Intervention effect Cob development was much slower in compost-fertilized baby corn.
- Mechanism Slower cob development may yield immature cobs with lower pack out and exportable yield.
