Effect of nutrient sources and weed control methods on yield and economics of baby corn (Zea mays)

Abstract

Results of the field experiment conducted at New Delhi during kharif season of 2008 showed that baby corn can be grown profitably with application of 120 kg N through vermicompost and two hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAS or pre-emergence tank mix application of atrazine @ 0.5 kg + pendimethalin @ 0.75 kg/ha.
