The results showed that the coconut shell biochar treatment provided the highest wet weight with 97.82 g which increased by 61.93% when compared to without biochar 60.41 g. The NPK-compost fertilizer treatment gave the highest value of weighted cob weight, which was 101.22 g which was significantly different and increased by 23.27% and 13.59% when compared with NPK fertilizer and compost treatments, respectively 89.11 g and 82.11 g.
