Effect of different organic sources of nitrogen with biofertilizers on yield attributes, quality parameters and economics of bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria Mol. Standl.) CV. Pusa Naveen

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted in randomized block design at Horticulture Instructional Farm, C. P. College Agriculture, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, and Sardarkrushinagar to find out the suitable dose of nitrogen from different organic sources and biofertilizer in bottle gourd cv. Pusa Naveen. It is conducted that 100% Nitrogen through Poultry manure + Azotobacter + PSB + Trichoderma viride application gave significantly maximum number of fruits per vine, weight of fruit, yield per vine, yield per plot, yield per hectare, maximum gross return, net return, benefit cost ratio and maximum diameter of fruit. While, length of fruit with respect to different organic sources of fertilizer and biofertilizers was found non-significant.
