Effect of Foliar Spray of Panchagavya on Yield Attributes, Yield and Economics of Babycorn
L. Vimalendran and K. Wahab

Abstract: Babycorn is a finger like corn which is harvested before pollination or two to three days after silk emergence. The effect of inorganic fertilizer in combination with panchagavya information is limited in babycorn and needs field investigation. Hence, the field experiments were conducted at Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University, Chidambaram during, July-September, 2008 and January-March, 2009 to study the effect of foliar spray of panchagavya on the growth and yield of babycorn cv. CoBC 1. The experiments were laid out in Randomized Block Design with fourteen treatments replicated thrice. The treatments included different levels of nutrients and foliar application of panchagavya (3 and 4%) at various stages of babycorn. The results revealed that four sprays of three percent panchagavya at 15, 25, 35 and 45 Days After Sowing (DAS) along with 100% Recommended Dose of Fertilizers (RDF) recorded the highest fresh babycorn yield (7439 and 7476 kg ha-1, in 2008 and 2009, respectively) followed by 3 sprays of 3% panchagavya along with 100% recommended dose of fertilizers (7226 kg ha-1 2008 and 7262 kg ha-1 in 2009).
