Effect of organic, inorganic and bio-fertilizers on yield and quality of Thuduvalai (Solanum trilobatum L.)

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at Annamalai University on Integrated nutrient management on growth and yield of thuduvalai. Randomized Block Design with three replication was adopted in thuduvalai and the inorganic sources viz., nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. The organic sources i.e. Farmyard manure, vermicompost, coirpith compost and neem cake, Panchagavya and biofertilizers. The results showed application of 50% NPK (50:30:20 kg ha-1) + VC (2.5 t ha-1) + BF @ 2 kg ha-1 + PG @ 3% foliar spray to thuduvalai had significant effect on yield and quality.
