A field experiment was conducted on baby corn (Zea mays L.) at Bangalore, India during 2001 and 2002 with three spacings and seven fertilization levels to study their effect on the yield and quality of baby corn and green fodder. A wider spacing of 45 × 30 cm significantly increased yield components, sensory and nutritional parameters of baby corn and green fodder compared with closer spacing, while the green fodder yield was significantly higher at a closer spacing of 45 × 20 cm or 30 × 30 cm. The application of 150 : 75 : 40 kg NPK ha-1 + 10 t farmyard manure (FYM) was found to be optimal for obtaining high baby corn and fodder yields with good quality.

A field experiment was conducted at Main Forage Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during rabi-2019-20 to study the effect of nitrogen levels on yield and quality of multi cut oat cultivars with aim to find out nitrogen levels on green fodder yield and quality of oat. There were total four varieties (V1: OL 1874, V2: JO-05-304, V3: UPO 212 and V4: RO 19) and four levels of nitrogen (N1: 35 kg N/ha, N2: 70 kg N/ha, N3: 105 kg N/ha and N4: 140 kg N/ha) was tested. Experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications. Experiments results revealed that significantly the highest green fodder yield was reported in RO 19 (V4) treatment, while average plant height and average number of tiller per meter row length were reported in V1: OL 1874 and V2: JO 05-304 treatment, respectively. Average plant height, Green fodder yield, average dry matter, average crude protein, total crude protein yield and dry matter yield were found highest by application of 140 kg N/ha. Average tiller per meter row length was higher in N4 (140 kg N/ha) and average dry matter was higher in N1 (35 kg N/ha). Response of nitrogen non-significant in case of average ADF and NDF content.
