Abstract: Organic and inorganic nutrients are important for crop productivity and soil health. Present study investigated the Effect of different levels of fertilizers and organic matter on soil physico-chemical properties, Growth and yield of Baby Corn (zea mays L) G-5414 Variety. Field experiment was conducted at Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Naini Agricultural Institute, Prayagraj – 211007, during kharif 2019 on loamy sand soil. The experiment consisted of 9 treatment viz., T0--Control (No Treatment), T1--NPK 100% + Organics 0%, T2--NPK0% + vermicompost 100% 10 t ha-1, T3--NPK 0% + Poultry manure 100% 10 t ha-1,T4--NPK 75% + Vermicompost 25% 82:39:20kg ha1+2.5 t ha-1, T5—NPK 75%+ Poultry manure 25% 82:39:20 kg ha-1 +2.5:1tha-1, T6--NPK 50% + Vermicompost 50% 55:26:13 kg ha-1+5t ha-1 and T7--NPK50% + Poultry manure 50%55:36:13 kg ha-1 5t ha1T8-NPK 50% + Organics 25% 55:26:13 kg ha-1+2.5:1t ha-1. Conclusively, integration of inorganic fertilizers with organic manures can be used with optimum rates to improve crop productivity on sustainable basis. The results showed that progressive increase in level of N P K and organic fertilizer used from different sources in the experiment, the treatment combination(NPK 50% + Organics 25%) significantly increased the physical and chemical analysis parameters i.e. (Bulk density (Mg m-3), Particle density (Mg m-3), Pore space (%), % of solid space, Specific gravity, Water retaining capacity (%), Soil pH (1:2), EC (dSm-1), Organic carbon (%), Available Nitrogen (Kg ha-1), Available Phosphorus (Kg ha-1) and Available Potassium (Kg ha-1)of soil.
