Abstract

The present investigation was conducted at College of Horticulture, Mojerla, Sri Konda Laxman Telangana State Horticultural University, Mulugu, Telangana State, India in rabi season of 2019-20 with set of eight treatments. The treatments included 75 per cent and 50 per cent recommended dose of nitrogen, phosphate and potassium, as well as Farm yard manure, vermicompost, and biofertilizers (azotobacter and phosphorus solubilizing bacteria). Among the treatments 75 per cent Recommended dose of Nitrogen Phosphorus potassium plus Farm yard manure (6 tons per hectare) plus vermicompost (1.5 tonnes per hectare) plus Azotobacter (10 kg per hectare) plus PSB (10 kg per hectare) is best for growth recorded as minimum number of days required for 80 per cent germination of seedlings (2.55 days), longer plant height (46.50 cm), more number of leaves per plant (22.54), maximum leaf area (1350.16 cm2) and higher chlorophyll content index (24.24), and yield parameters as maximum root length (14.26 cm

Conclusion

According to the results of these experiments, beet root with 75 percent recommended dose of NPK plus Farm yard manure (6 t ha-1) plus Vermicompost (1.5 t ha-1) plus Azotobacter (10 kg ha-1) plus Phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (10 kg ha-1) followed by treatment 50 percent RDNPK plus Farm yard manure (6 t ha-1) plus Vermicompost (1.5 t ha-1) plus Azotobacter (10 kg ha-1) plus Phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (10 kg ha-1) appears to be a viable combination for improving beetroot Cv. Crimson Globe growth and yield characteristics under alkaline conditions.
