This study explores the cultivation of baby corn and its evolving role in product diversification and value addition within agricultural systems. Baby corn, a versatile vegetable harvested just before silk emergence, has a nutritional content comparable to that of non-legume vegetables. The research examines the effects of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers, along with various biofertilizer sources, on baby corn yield, yield attributes, quality, soil status, and economic factors. Twelve distinct treatment combinations were applied, featuring three levels of nitrogen (60, 80, and 100 kg ha-1) and two levels of phosphorus (50 and 75 kg ha-1), combined with Azotobacter and Azospirillum biofertilizers. Evaluation criteria included crop yield, plant height, ear length, cob diameter, and financial returns. Results highlight the significant impact of Azospirillum on baby corn production and..
