Abstract

A field experiment was conducted to study the “Effect of non-edible oil cakes and liquid organic manure on growth, yield and soil nutrient status of Field bean (Dolichos lab lab L.)” at Organic Farming Research Centre, Zonal Agricultural and Horticultural Research (ZAHRS), Keladi Shivappa Nayaka University of Agricultural and Horticultural Sciences, Navile, Shivamogga, during Kharif 2021. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with nine treatments comprising of two kinds of non edible oil cakes (castor cake and pongamia cake) and two kinds of liquid organic manures (panchagavya and jeevamrutha) were replicated thrice. The experimental results revealed that, application of castor cake along with 3% foliar spray of Panchagavya significantly recorded higher pod yield (34.3 q/ha), higher pod yield per plant (336.4g/plant), pods per plant (34.3), more number of branches (13.6) and higher plant height (93.6 cm) which in turn was on par with the application of pon

Keywords

Non edible oil cake, Pongamia cake, Castor cake, Panchagavya, Jeeevamrutha.

Conclusion

The study revealed that among organic field bean nutrient management practices either basal application of N equivalent doses of castor cake or pongamia cake along with 3% foliar application of panchagavya at flowering and pod setting stages found to be beneficial in getting higher pod yield in field bean crop.
