Agricultural University, Model Farm, Vadodara to study the "Integrated nutrient
management in rabi sweet corn under Middle Gujarat conditions" during the rabi
season of the year 2006-07. The soil of experimental plot was loamy sand in texture. It
was low in organic carbon and available nitrogen, while high in available phosphorus and
potash with pH 7.7 and EC value 0.41 dSm-1. Twenty treatments comprising of five levels
of organic manures (no organic manure, Castor Cake (CC) @ 2 t ha-1, CC @ 1 t ha-1 +
Vermicompost (VC) @ 4 t ha-1, CC @ 0.5 t ha-1 + VC @ 6 t ha-1 and VC @ 8 t ha-1) and
four levels of chemical fertilizers [0% Recommended Dose of Fertilizers (RDF), 50%
RDF, 75% RDF and 100% RDF (120: 40: 00 NPK kg ha-1)] were tried under Factorial
Randomized Block Design with three replications
