Abstract:
The field experiment was conducted during the
Kharif season 2015-16 at the Vegetable Research Farm, Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture Technology and Sciences (SHIATS), Allahabad (U.P). The experiment was laid out in Randomized block design (RBD) thrice including ten treatments viz., treatments T
0 (Control), T
1 ( 100% Recommended dose of nutrients), T
2 (75% Recommended dose of nutrients + 25% FYM), T
3 (50% Recommended dose of nutrients + 50% FYM), T
4 (25% Recommended dose of nutrients + 75% FYM), T
5 (75% Recommended dose of nutrients + 25% Vermicompost), T
6 (50% Recommended dose of nutrients + 50% Vermicompost), T
7 (25% Recommended dose of nutrients + 75% Vermicompost), T
8 (75% Recommended dose of nutrients + 25% Primary manure), T
9 (50% Recommended dose of nutrients + 50% Primary manure) and T
10 (25% Recommended dose of nutrients + 75% Primary manure). The significantly highest plant height (64.34 cm) at 45 days was observed in T
9. The maximum number of leaves per plant (8.62) at 45 days was recorded in (T
9). The maximum leaf length (23.47) was observed in the (T
9). And the highest shoot weight (161.35) was found in treatment (T
9).
