An experiment was conducted during the Rabi season of 2020 at Fodder Production Farm of Livestock Research Station (Sri Venkateswara Veterinary University), Lam Farm, Guntur. A.P, to find out the effect of basal application of Nitrogen and Zinc on growth and yield of Baby corn (Zea mays L.). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with 9 treatments and each treatment replicated thrice. Treatments consisted of combination of three levels of Nitrogen (80,100 and 120kg/ha) and three levels of Zinc (10, 20 and 30 kg/ha). It was observed that application of 100 kg Nitrogen /ha + 30 kg Zinc/ha, was found the best treatment for obtaining growth and yield attributes such as Plant height (178.46 cm), Plant dry weight (105.58 g), No. of leaves per plant (12.00), Leaf area index (3.07), No. of cobs per plant (4.19), Length of cob (20.72 cm), Length of the corn (9.06 cm), Girth of the cob (7.34 cm), Corn girth (3.42), Cob yield (16026.53 kg/ha) and Corn yield (2597.47 kg/ha in Krishna zone of Andhra Pradesh, India.
