produced the highest DM. Khoibhutta had the lowest DM accumulation at all growth stages. Significant effect
on CGR value at all growth periods was found among the varieties (Figure 4). A gradual increasing trend was
recorded in CGR value with the advancement of growth periods. Hybrid baby corn-271 produced the highest
CGR value at the period 0-20 and 50-65 DAE followed by Shuvra and Khoibhutta produced the lowest. On the
other hand at 20-35 DAE Shuvra produced the highest CGR (1.28 g m-2 day-1) and the lowest (0.993 g m-2 day-1)
was produced by BARI sweet corn-1 at the same period. Shuvra gave the highest LAI and the lowest was noted
for BARI sweet corn-1 at all growth stages except at 0-20 DAE (Figure 5). At 0-20 DAE Khoibhutta gave the
lowest LAI.
