The study was done to assess the effect of zeolite concentration and time of zeolite soakingin cow urine on the growth and production of baby corn. A factorial completely randomized designwith two factors was used. The first factor was zeolite concentration (0%, 5% and 10%). The secondfactor was soaking time in cow urine (1,2,3 and 4 weeks). Results showed that corn plants treatedwith 0% zeolite (fermented urine) have higher stem circumference, leaves color intensity and highercob weight. Plants that were given a concentration of 5% zeolite produced male flowers late. Theduration of zeolite immersion in cow urine did not significantly affect all observed variables.Keywords: stem circumference, male flowers, baby corn, zeolite
