Paitoon Runsuk
Trials on appropriate production technology of baby corn for industry including varieties, plant densities and fertilizer rates were carried out at National Corn and Sorghum Research Center where soil is clay with pH 7.3, organic matter 2.7 % phosphorus 91 ppm, potassim 210 ppm, exchangeable calcium 2,240 ppm and exchangeable magnesium 170 ppm. All Trials were planted on April 5, 1990. The recommended varieties of baby corn were Pacific no. 5, Cargill no. 729, Pioneer 3228, Thai Super Sweet Composite no. 1 DMR, G-5407 and G-5406. The recommended plant density was 26,665 plants per rai which could be obtained by planting two plants and three plants per hill alternating in the spacing of 50*30 cm. Nitrogen fertilizer at the rate of 10 kg nitrogen per rai was suggested. Baby corn cultivation could also produce a large quantity of plant fresh weight by-product which could be used as rough feed for animal. This by-product was a good quality rough feed.
