Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during the rabi season of 2022 in the farm of Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences, Coimbatore to study the effect on organic nutrient management on yield and economic returns of baby corn which was grown in silty clay loam soil. Among all the treatment 12.5 t FYM + groundnut cake equivalent to 60 kg fertilizer N provided much better outcomes in terms of yield attributing character and cob yield followed by vermi-compost equivalent to N in 12.5 t FYM + groundnut cake equivalent to 60 Kg fertilizer N. B:C ratio was found higher in 60-30-30 kg NPK through fertilizer alone.
