Abstract

The present research experiment was carried out during January to February 2021 under Shade net condition Research Field of Department of Horticulture, SHUATS, Prayagraj. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design (RBD), with eight treatments, replicated thrice in hydroponic system with variety all-green. From the present experimental finding it is found that the T7 (Epsom salts and micros (17.5ml/10L) (MnSO4, ZnSO4, CuSO4, B, Common Salt) + Iron Chelate (17.5m1/10L) + Mono Ammonium phosphate (17.5ml/10L)N:P:K 11:48:00 + Calcium Nitrate (27.5ml/10L) N:P:K 15:00:00 + Potassium Nitrate (27.5ml/10L) N:P:K 13:00:44 )was found superior over other treatments in terms of plant height (44.08cm), Number of leaves per plant (25.33cm), leaf length (36.33cm), leaf width (8.95cm), root length (6.25cm), amount of water used (10.43L), plant weight per plant (37.21g), Yield per structure (4.06kg), TSS (5.47°Brix) and chlorophyll content (32.98) of Spinach Beet in hydroponic system.
