Seeds of legumes were inoculated before sowing with their recommended
strain of Rhizobium. Full dose of P (60 kg/ha) and K
(60 kg/ha), and 20 kg of N was applied at the time of sowing to
legumes and baby corn- starter dose of fertilizer. And remaining
130 kg N was applied in two equal doses as band application to baby
corn only at 20 and 40 days after sowing. Weeds were allowed to
establish and grow in all experimental units. Six pluckings were
done to complete the baby corn harvest. Green fodder of corn
(fresh) and straw yield of legumes (at 20% moisture) were obtained
after subtracting of economic yield from their total above ground
biomass. Crops were sown on 1st December and 9th December in
2007 and 2008, respectively. Planting materials, spacing, seed rate
harvesting date and recommended doses of fertilizers are given
below in the table.
