Effect of teak leaf litter addition on Ambrette content of Abelmoschus moschatus

Abstract

The field investigation in relation to “Effect of Teak leaf litter addition on Ambrette Content of Abelmoschus moschatus” was conducted in the year 2016-17 at Agroforestry Research Farm, College of Agriculture, Nagpur. The experiment was framed in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with ten treatments consisting of various levels of Teak leaf litter combined with cow dung slurry and bio-decomposer which were replicated thrice. The highest Ambrette content was recorded in T7 with application of Teak leaf litter @ 5 t ha-1+ cow dung slurry @ 50% of Teak leaf litter + bio- decomposer (0.50%). T8 supplied with Teak leaf litter @ 5 t ha-1+ cow dung slurry @ 50% of Teak leaf litter recorded second highest place recording 0.48% Ambrette content. Application of @ 5 t ha-1 Teak leaf litter + cow dung slurry @ 50% of Teak leaf litter+ bio- decomposer recorded 10% increased Ambrette content over control.
