摘要：

Out of 30 cultivars of maize (Zea mays L.) evaluated for babycorn production at 2 locations (Bajaura and Sundemagar) during 1995-97, the hybrid 'VL 42' gave significantly highest marketable babycorn yield followed by hybrids 'MEH 133' and 'MEH 114'. All these hybrids remaining statistically at par with each other, had significantly higher cobs/plant than composite 'Early Composite'. Per cent husk and barrenness were less in hybrids than composite, whereas fodder yield was more in 'Early Composite' than hybrids. Removal of tassel just after its emergence gave 18% higher marketable babycorn yield than no de-tasseling.
