| Abstract |
Abstract Baby corn (Zea may L.) is one of the most significant and lucrative agricultural products grown in Thailand. Thailand, the largest exporter of baby corn in the world, has an average export income of 33 million dollars each year. However, Thai farmers income levels were lower for baby corn cultivation whereas a result of an increase in production factors. The objective of this study is to assess the appropriate water usage and fertilizer application on clay loam soil, in order to create higher yields of baby corn production. The experiment involved split-plot in randomize complete block design with three replications. Treatments consisted of three main plots of variable irrigation supply 1) 40% allowable depletion content (ADC), 2) 60% ADC, and 3) 80% ADC. Each plot acted in combination with four sub plots: 1) control, 2) 94-31-31 kg ha-1 (N-P2O5-K2O), 3) 47-16-16, and 4) 47-47-47 kg ha-1. The results found 40% ADC irrigation the most favorable to increase pod weight and water usage efficiency. The findings also proved this method to have the least amount of reduction in green, blue, and total water footprint amounts. Past fertilizer applications found that 94-31-31 kg/ha fertilizer enhanced pod weight and length, as well as corn height, and water usage in both amount and efficiency. The fertilizer 47-47-47 kg ha-1 resulted in the greatest decrease of green, blue, and total water footprint amount compared with other sub plots. A 40% ADC irrigation combination with 94-31-31 kg ha-1 yielded the highest pod weight and water usage efficiency compared with all other treatments. Moreover, the water footprint demonstrated the least amount of decrease in green, blue, and total water footprints compared with other treatments. |
