 ABSTRACT

An experiment was carried out during kharif, 2019 at the Instructional Farm of the Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur. Experiment laid out in randomized block design with three replications comprising twelve treatments i.e. 100% RDN through urea, 75% RDN through urea + 25% N – FYM, 50% RDN through urea + 50% N – FYM, 75% RDN through urea + 25% N – VC, 50% RDN through urea + 50% N – VC, 50% RDN through urea + 25% N – FYM + 25% N – VC, 125% RDN through urea, 100% RDN through urea + 25% N – FYM, 75% RDN through urea + 50% N – FYM, 100% RDN through urea + 25% N – VC, 75% RDN through urea + 50% N – VC, 75% RDN through urea + 25% N – FYM + 25% N – VC. Plant growth and yield attributes as well as yield were recorded. Sweet corn variety (Sugar 75) was taken as test crop. Application of 125% RDN through urea significantly improved the growth, quality parameters, yield and yield attributes of sweet corn which was at par with combined organic and inorganic sources of 125% RDN. Treatment receiving 125% RDN through urea gave higher numerical values compared to organic and inorganic combinations.

Keywords: Integrated nutrient management, Growth, Yield attributes, Yield, Sweet corn, Sugar 75.
