SUMMARY
The field experiment was conducted at CCS HAU, RRS Karnal during spring 2024 in RBD Design using fourteen maize hybrids and one check HM 4 to evaluate the performance of hybrids for baby corn and fodder yield. The findings revealed considerable differences among hybrids for the studied traits. Among the fourteen maize hybrids evaluated in baby corn trial, four hybrids viz. HKH 423 (2756 and 22987 kg/ha), HKH 433 (2552 and 22456 kg/ha), HKH 388 (2575 and 21965 kg/ha) and IMH 225 (2367 and 21954 kg/ha) were recorded more than 10 percent superiority for the baby corn and fodder yield respectively over the check HM 4 (2060 and 19525 kg/ha for baby corn and fodder yield respectively). First three principal components explain the 95% of the total variance.
Key words: Baby corn, fodder, superiority and PCA
