Present investigation was under taken to study and compare how spacing influenced the performance and yield of two varieties of Baby corn under poplar based Agroforestry system. Three different spacing patterns i.e. 45x25, 55x25 and 65x25cm were evaluated in two varieties, HIM-123 and DHM-107 of Baby corn in two consecutive years i.e. 2014 and 2015. Following seven parameters (Plant height, Crop growth rate, Collar diameter (cm), Number of cobs per plant, length of Cob (cm), girth of cob (cm) and cob yield (q ha-1) were evaluated. Spacing pattern of 55x25 gave best results in both varieties in all the treatments investigated; organic manure in the form of vermicompost was used in all the treatments. It is interesting to know that spacing pattern of 65x25 gave the worst performance in both the varieties.
