3.1.1 Effects of Variety on the Growth Parameters of Baby Corn
The plant height was significantly different among the varieties at all growing stages (Figure 2). It increased
sharply up to 80 DAE. Finally, Shuvra produced the tallest plant (179.1 cm) and BARI sweet corn-1 produced
the shortest plant (149.3 cm). Days to first tasseling of different baby corn varieties also differed significantly
(Table 1). Minimum days required for both tasseling and silking were found in Khoibhutta (66.7) which was
statistically similar to BARI sweet corn-1 while maximum values were found in Hybrid baby corn-271. Total dry
matter (TDM) accumulation plant-1 varied significantly among the varieties at all the growth periods (Figure 3).
Shuvra produced the highest DM at all stages of growth except at 80 DAE. At 80 DAE Hybrid baby corn-271
