Abstract: An investigation was conducted at College of Agriculture, Vellayani to during kharif season of 2019 to study the effect of organic nutrition practices on growth, yield, quality and shelf life of baby corn. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with 10 treatments replicated thrice during kharif (May to September) in 2019. Organic manure viz., vermicompost, coirpith compost and poultry manure along with insitu green manuring and biofertilizer (PGPR mix I) were applied to the field. In the control treatment inorganic fertilizers were applied @135:65:45 kg NPK ha-1. Poultry manure application along with in situ green manuring or biofertilizer application improved the quality and shelf life of baby corn. Poultry manure application along with PGPR mix I or in situ green manuring was effective for producing higher nutrient content in baby corn. Application of poultry manure or vermicompost with PGPR was found to improve the sensory parameters, consumer preference and shelf life of baby corn.
