Abstract

To increase yield of higher-quality medicinal plants and aromatic herbs, organic manures and biostimulants can be employed. Successful management of organic fertiliser is essential for growing medicinal and fragrant plants. Utilizing chemical fertilisers sparingly and mixing organic manures with bio-fertilizers in the soil enhances soil fertility and is thought to promote the vegetative growth and development of plants as well as the development of their productive and commercial portions. In this way, organic fertilisers will improve soil structure, water holding capacity, microbial activity, and nutrient availability without adversely affecting the ecosystem. In the above mentioned scenario, a research experiment was examined to study the impact of organic manures and bionutrients on nutrient removal and growth of isabgol during two consecutive rabi seasons of 2020 and 2021, respectively. The research work was laid out in split plot design with five treatment of organic manures in main plot and four treatment of bio-nutrients in sub plots. Main plots comprising of M1 (Control), M2 (100 % RDN through FYM), M3 (100 % RDN through Vermicompost), M4 (100 % RDN through Poultry manure) and M5 (100 % RDN through Goat manure) and sub plot treatments comprising i.e. Bio-nutrients S1 (control), S2 (Azotobactor + PSB), S3 (Jivamrut) and S4 (Azotobactor + PSB + Jivamrut). The results revealed that higher growth and nutrient uptake with 100 % RDN through FYM. Among the bio-nutrients, Azotobactor + PSB + Jivamrut recorded significantly higher growth and nutrient uptake during both the years.

Keywords

Isabgol, azotobacter, bionutrients, yield, poultry manure

Conclusion

From the above mentioned study, it is recommended that to obtain higher plant growth as well as better uptake of nutrient of Isabgol crop should be grown by 100% RDN through Poultry manurealong with Azotobactor + PSB + Jivamrut.
