Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Yield, Economics and Post-harvest Soil Properties of Sweet Corn Grown under Mid-Central Table Land Zone of Odisha

Sweet corn (Zea mays var. saccharata), popularly known as sugar or pole is a specialty maize having high content at milk early dough stage. As the considered an exhaustive crop, requires more nutrient, so integrated nutrient management practices play important role in sustaining productivity of sweet corn. A field experiment was conducted during 2019 and 2020 order to study effect on yield post harvest soil properties. Different growth parameters like plant height (206 cm), cob length (28.5 girth (16.43 no seed rows per (18.80), grains row (47.55) green wt. (335.43g) were found highest package where bio fertilizer consortia, B Zn applied along with STD fertilization (T6). Total harvested including stover (2.58 2.98 t ha-1) kernel (1.33 2.37t varied from 3.91 5.35 ha-1 different treatments observed T6 (5.35 ha-1). Harvest index (44.29%), B: C ratio (3.15) 1000 weight (198.90 g) also recorded treatment T6. The post- properties INM package.
