A field experiment was conducted at the Instructional-cum-Research (ICR) Farm, Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat during summer season of 2018 to study the yield attributing characters and yields of baby corn. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with three replications. The treatments consisted of four date of sowing viz., 20th February (D1), 2nd March (D2), 12th March (D3), 22nd March (D4) in main plot and four planting geometry practices viz., 40 cm x 20 cm (S1), 40 cm x 25 cm (S2), 45 cm x 20 cm (S3), 45 cm x 25 cm (S4), in sub-plot. Results revealed that sowing on 2nd March with planting geometry 40cm x 20 cm resulted in higher growth parameters in terms of plant height and leaf area index. The yield attributing characters like number of cob per plant, weight and length of cob with and without husk and cob girth found maximum in 2nd March sowing with planting geometry of 45cm x 25cm. Significantly higher cob yield with and without husk and green fodder yield found in 2nd March sowing with planting geometry of 45cm x 20cm as compared to all the treatments.
