The experiment comprised of 9 treatments with different combinations of phosphorus and zinc levels replicated thrice in a Randomized Block Design. The main objective of the experiment was to evaluate the Effect of phosphorus and zinc levels on growth and yield of Babycorn (Zea Mays L.). The phosphorus levels include (50, 60 and 70 kg/ha) and levels of zinc include (05, 15, 25 kg/ha). From the present investigation the profitable production of baby corn can be secure with application of phosphorus (70 kg/ha) and zinc (25 kg/ha).
