A field experiment was conducted during late rabi 2006-07 as On Farm Research at Chinnamathampalayam village ofCoimbatore district, Tamil Nadu to study the effect of nutrients and plant growth regulators on the quality parameters and yield of baby corn. The treatment consists of foliar application of nutrients (Ureal% and DAP 2%), plant growth regulators [Mepiquot chloride (MC) @ 200 ppm, Pink Pigmented Facultative Methalotrophs (PPFMs) @ 5 lit ha'1, Brassinosteroid (BR) @ 0.3 ppm, Nitrobenzene (NB)@ 0.3 ppm and Ethrel @ lOOppm] and water spray as control. Tlie results revealed that the quality parameters viz., total sugar, protein and crude protein content were found to be higher with the application ofMC @ 200 ppm followed by PPFMs @ 5 lit ha1. Other quality parameters like starch content, vitamin A and C content were not altered by the plant growth regulators and nutrients application. Foliar spray of PPFMs @ 5 lit ha'1 resulted in higher crude protein and fibre content of fodder followed by BR@ 0.3 ppm and urea(l%). Tlie green cob and green fodder yield were found to be higher (7785 kg ha-1 and 34.6 t ha1) under PPFMs @ 5 lit ha1.
