Effect of various organic treatments on growth, yield attributes and yield of coriander under organic farming

Abstract

An experiment was conducted on medium black calcareous clayey soil at Junagadh (Gujarat) in Rabi 2017-18 and 2018-19. Nine treatments comprising Control, FYM @ 5 t/ha, FYM @ 5 t/ha + Azotobacter, FYM @ 5 t/ha + Azotobacter + PSB, FYM @ 5 t/ha + Azotobacter + PSB + KSB, FYM @ 5 t/ha + Azotobacter + PSB + KSB + SOB, FYM @ 5 t/ha + Azotobacter + PSB + KSB + SOB + seaweed extract as foliar spray @ 3.5% at 30 and 60 DAS, FYM @ 5 t/ha + Azotobacter + PSB + KSB + SOB + seaweed extract as foliar spray @ 3.5% at 30 and 60 DAS + banana pseudostem sap as foliar spray @ 1% at 30 and 60 DAS and FYM @ 5 t/ha + Azotobacter + PSB + KSB + SOB + seaweed extract as foliar spray @ 3.5% at 30 and 60 DAS + banana pseudostem sap as foliar spray @ 1% at 30 and 60 DAS + cow urine as foliar spray @ 5% at 30 and 60 DAS in randomized block design with three replications. The experimental results revealed that application of FYM @ 5 t/ha + Azotobacter + PSB + KSB + SOB + seaweed extract as foliar spray @ 3.5% at 30 and 60 DAS + banana pseudostem sap as foliar spray @ 1% at 30 and 60 DAS + cow urine as foliar spray @ 5% at 30 and 60 DAS were found superior in respect of the growth parameters and yield attributes along with higher seed yield (1379 and 1377 kg/ha), strover yields (1585 and 1581 kg/ha) and 1000- seed weight (14.39 gm).
