A field experiment was conducted during the summer season of 2018 on sandy loam soil at the Instructional-cum-Research (ICR) Farm, Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat to study the outcome of three baby corn varieties (VL Baby corn-1, CMVL Baby corn -2 and G-5414) and four fertilizer levels (60-40-40 N-P2O5-K2O kg/ha, 75-50-50 N-P2O5-K2O kg/ha, 90-60-60 N- P2O5-K2O kg/ha and 105-70-70 N-P2O5-K2O kg/ha). The treatments were laid out in split plot design and replicated thrice with varieties in the main plot and fertilizer levels in the sub-plot. Cobs per plant, cob weight with and without husk as well as cob yield with husk (86.07 q/ha) and without husk (18.78 q/ha) was higher for G-5414 where as plant height and cob length was higher for CMVL Baby corn-2. Dry matter production and LAI as well as yield attributing characters like number of cobs per plant, cob length and weight with and without husk as well as cob yield with husk (89.07 q/ha) and without husk (18.39 q/ha) and green fodder yield (249.99 q/ha) were the highest with the application of 105-70-70 N-P2O5-K2O kg/ha which was at par with 90-60-60 N- P2O5-K2O kg/ha.
