Effect of different concentration of vermiwash and cowdung wash on growth and yield of different sweet corn varieties.

The present investigation entitled Effect of different concentration of vermiwash and cowdung wash on growth and yield of different sweet corn varieties was carried out during the rabi season 2021 on the field of ASPEE, Agricultural Research and Development Foundation, TansaFarm, At- Nare, Taluka- Wada, Dist- Palghar, Maharashtra, India. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD). The three treatments of different organic formulation (Control, vermiwash @ 10% and cowdungwash @ 10%) along with three sweetcorn varieties (Bioseed 4043, Sakata-16 and Royal madhu) were replicated three times. The plant height (cm), number of leaves per plant and total dry matter per plant at harvest were found maximum with the application of vermiwash @ 10% in sweet corn variety Sakata-16. The highest number of cobs/ plant, length of cob (cm), weight of cob without husk (gm), cob yield and green fodder yield (q/ha)were found with the application of vermiwash @ 10% in sweet corn variety Sakata-16.While, the lowest plant height (cm), number of leaves per plant, total dry matter per plant at harvest, number of cobs/ plant, length of cob (cm), weight of cob without husk (gm), cob yield and green fodder yield (q/ha)was found in the control treatment with sweet corn variety Bioseed 4043. The data clearly indicated that the yield obtained with treatment T5 (vermiwash @ 10%+ Sakata-16) was significantly higher than all other treatments, and also for growth parameters.
