The present investigation entitled Evaluation of Baby corn - Vegetable intercrop model for growth and yield attributes was conducted during Rabi, 2022-23 at the College Instructional Farm, Rampur Nawagon, RABL College of Agriculture and Research Station Chhuikhadan, Dist- Khairagarh-Chhuikhadan-Gandai, (C.G.). The experiment is made up of 9 treatments in random block design (RBD) with three replications of the varied intercrops. The observations were recorded from germination percentage, plant height (cm), number of leaves per plant, stem base diameter (mm), earliness (day), root length (cm), root diameter (mm), number of cob/pod per plant, cob/pod girth (cm), cob/pod length (cm), cob/pod weight (gm), fresh weight of plant (gm), dry weight of plant (gm), cob/pod yield (kg /plot), cob/pod yield (kg/ha), green fodder yield (t /ha), harvest index (%) and benefit-cost ratio. Among all treatment combinations (T6) baby corn + cowpea (2:2), gives the maximum germination percentage (92.25), maximum plant height (175.15 cm), maximum number of leaves per plant (10.13), maximum stem base diameter (69.71mm), lowest number of days to 50% silking (51.45), lowest days to harvest (56.4), maximum root length (26.28cm), maximum root diameter (12.30mm), highest number of cob/pod per plant (2.90), highest cob/pod girth (3.08cm), highest cob/pod length (13.17cm), highest cob/pod weight (60.22gm), highest fresh weight of plant (295.12gm), highest dry weight of plant (75.25gm), highest cob/pod yield (8.73 kg /plot), highest cob/pod yield (7274.97 kg/ha), highest green fodder yield (14.75 t /ha), highest harvest index (33.01 %) and highest B:C ratio of (2.22). which was significantly superior to sole baby corn (1.39), whereas the lowest benefit cost ratio in (T7) Baby corn + Okra (2:2) (0.52). On the basis of present investigation treatment (T6) baby corn + cowpea (2:2), was found significantly superior for the growth and yield parameters in Chhattisgarh plains
Baby corn, Intercrops, B:C ratio
The growth parameter was found significantly superior in treatment baby corn + cowpea (2:2), for the following variable i.e., germination percentage, plant height (cm), number of leaves per plant, stem base diameter (mm), earliness, root length (cm), root diameter (mm). The yield parameter was found significantly superior in treatment baby corn + cowpea (2:2), for the following character i.e., number of cob/pod per plant, cob/pod girth (cm), cob/pod length (cm), cob/pod weight (gm), fresh weight of plant (gm), dry weight of plant (gm), cob/pod yield (kg /plot), cob/pod yield (kg/ha), green fodder yield (t /ha) and harvest index (%). Also, the highest B:C ratio was observed in baby corn + cowpea (2:2)
