Asian Journal of Scientific Research1992-14542077-2076Asian Network for Scientific Information10.3923/ajsr.2008.153.159ThavaprakaashN. VelayudhamK. MuthukumarV.B. 2200812Field experiments were conducted during late rabi 2002 and 2003 seasons
at Eastern Block farm of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore,
India. The texture of the experimental fields is sandy clay loam. The
experiments were laid out in split plot design. Two factors viz., crop
geometry (45x25 cm (S1) and 60x19 cm (S2)) and intercropping
systems (Baby corn alone (C1), Baby corn + radish (C2),
Baby corn + coriander (C3)) were taken in main plots and four
INM practices (100% recommended NPK alone (N1); 50% NPK + FYM
+ Azospirillum + phosphobacteria (N2); 50% NPK + poultry
manure + Azospirillum + phosphobacteria (N3) and 50%
NPK + goat manure + Azospirillum + phosphobacteria (N4))
were assigned to sub plots. The experimental results revealed that baby
corn and fodder yields were higher at 60x19 cm spacing level as compared
with S1. Intercropping systems did not influence on baby corn
and fodder yields. The treatments N3 and N4 registered
higher baby corn and fodder yields than N1 and N2.
Neither crop geometry nor intercropping systems did influence on fodder
quality of baby corn. All the three INM practices (N2, N3
and N4) recorded higher values of quality parameters than N1.
However, N3 and N4 values were significantly higher
than N2.]]>Addy, S.K., A. Singh, R. Singh and C.P. Awasthi,1987124445AOAC.,197512th Edn.,Chen, C.C., C.S. Wang and D.J. Liu,1990392128Das, M., B.P. Singh, M. Ram and R.N.
