Abstract
The experiment was conducted in the Crop Research Farm, department of agronomy during the summer season of 2022 on baby corn crop. The treatments consisted of 3 levels of boron (2kg, 3kg, 4 kg/ha) and Panchagavya (2 sprays of 2%, 3%, 4%) as a foliar spray at 15 and 30 DAS and a control. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 10 treatments and replicated thrice. Application of Boron (4 kg/ha) and Panchagavya (2 sprays of 4%) produced maximum plant height (135.44 cm), plant dry weight (138.95 g), number of cobs per plant (3.06), weight of cobs with husk (44.85g), weight of cobs without cob (8.24g), cob yield with husk (7.48 t/ha), cob yield without husk (3.01 t/ha), green fodder yield (41.80 t/ha). Treatment combination with Boron 4 kg/ha and Panchagavya 2 sprays of 4% produced highest gross returns (Rs. 1,44,700/ha), net returns (Rs. 99,845/ha) and benefit cost ratio (2.23) when compared to control (RDF).
