Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural College and Research Institute, Killikulam during (September - November) 2019 to study the effect of different integrated nutrient management combination on the yield of babycorn. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications using baby corn G 5414 as test variety. Two different organic manures (farmyard manure and poultry manure) with inorganic nutrients were randomly allotted in the experiment along with one control plot for comparison, in order to find out the effect of different integrated nutrient management combination on the yield of baby corn. In general, yield components and yield were significantly influenced by the different combination of integrated nutrient management. All the parameters such as number of baby corn plant-1, cob length, cob girth, green cob yield and green fodder yield were studied. All the treatments significantly influenced the yield of babycorn over RDN and control. Among the different treatments, application of 75 % RDN through Poultry manure + 25 % RDN through chemical fertilizer (T7) recorded higher green cob and green fodder yield.
