Effect of organic manures on growth and yield of Toria (Brassica compestris)

Abstract

The field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2019-20 at SMOF (SHIATS Organic Modal Farm). Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (UP). The soil of the experimental field is sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.6), the available N, P, K fertilizer is applied through organic fertilizers i.e. Cow manure, Vermicompost and Poultry manure. The treatment consisted of two varieties T-9 and Uttara and application of Vermicompost, Poultry manure and FYM viz: whose effect is observed on Toria. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with 12 treatments replicated thrice. The treatment with T9 + 4t/ha of Vermicompost showing significantly higher in plant height (92.36 cm), number of branches (7.71), number of siliqua per plant (102.34), grain yield (12.30 q/ha).
