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<sup>-1</sup> + 10 t farmyard manure (FYM) was found to be optimal for obtaining high baby corn and fodder yields with good quality.
