Seeds treated with chemicals are usually toxic to humans and animals. So as an alternative approach, a field experiment was carried out during Kharif season of 2021 to study the impact of different pre sowing treatments with organics and botanicals on growth, yield and yield attributing traits of Sweet corn (Zea mays L.). Experiment was subjected to13 pre sowing treatments each replicated thrice. Seed treatment with T3 Panchagavya at 7% for 12 hours was most effective in improving growth and yield parameters viz., Field emergence percentage (92.22%), Plant height (209.13cm), days to maturity (76.33), Cob length (18.36cm), Seed index (25.8g), Seed yield per plant(330.05g), Seed yield per plot (5.51t/ha), Biological yield (15.27t/ha) and Harvest index(35.83%). This study revealed that pre sowing treatments with organics and botanicals can be significantly effective in enhancing the growth and yield parameters of Sweet corn and they are of low cost, eco-friendly and toxic free.
