Effect to standardize the best treatment combination of organic and inorganic source for better growth and yield of Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.)

Abstract

The present experiment was carried out during 2018 to 2020 in Departmental Research Field of Department of Horticulture, SHUATS, Prayagraj. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design (RBD), with ten treatments and each replicated thrice. The treatments were T0:Control, T1:100% N@ Poultry manure, T2:100% N @ Vermicompost, T3:100% N @ FYM (Kg), T4:50% N + 50% P @ Poultry manure, T5:50% N + 50% P @ Vermicompost, T6:50% N + 50% P @ FYM, T7:25% RDF + 100% @ Poultry manure, T8:25% RDF + 100% @ Vermicompost and T9:25% RDF + 100% @ FYM. On the basis of present investigation it is concluded that the treatment T7 25% RDF + 100% @ Poultry manure is proved as a best combination of different organic and inorganic fertilizer for the improvement of brinjal cultivation through organically; where treatment T7 25% RDF + 100% @ Poultry manure significantly enhances the growth, flowering, fruit yield and quality traits of brinjal. The maximum benefit cost ratio (1:3.85) was found in T8.
