Abstract

The present investigation was carried out with organic manures and Panchagavya on yield attributes of cauliflower at Technology Park, CTAE, MPUAT, Udaipur during rabi season 2021-22. The sixteen-treatment combination comprised of sole and combined application organic manures (FYM and vermicompost) and four levels of panchagavya were evaluated on cauliflower crop with three replications under factorial RBD design. The observations recorded for polar and equatorial diameter of curd, fresh weight of curd, volume of curd, yield kg/plot and q/ha of cauliflower. Result showed that among organic manures application of T4 treatment (50 per cent RDN through FYM and 50 per cent RDN through vermicompost) as soil application recorded maximum polar diameter of curd, equatorial diameter of curd, fresh weight of curd, volume of curd, yield of curd and yield per ha. with 11.60 cm, 14.55 cm, 593.08 g, 671.30 cm3, 17.16 kg/plot and 295.84 q/ha, respectively. However, panchagavya application i.e., treatment T4 (10 per cent Panchagavya spray at 30 and 45 DAT) recorded maximum polar diameter of curd, equatorial diameter of curd, fresh weight of curd, volume of curd, yield of curd and yield per ha. with 10.98 cm, 13.12 cm, 551.75 g, 626.66 cm3, 15.77 kg/plot and 271.89 q/ha, respectively.

Keywords

Cauliflower, FYM, organic, panchagavya, vermicompost

Conclusion

Based on a comprehensive analysis of yield data, it can be concluded that the treatment of organic manures T4, which involves the use of 50% RDN through FYM combined with 50% RDN through vermicompost, similarly panchagavya treatment T4 application of 10 per cent panchagavya spray at 30 and 45 DAT mostly accountable for enhancing the various factors contributing to crop production.
