Effects of bio-fertilizers on growth and yield attributes of Mentha

Abstract

The present investigation entitled “Effects of Bio-fertilizers on Growth and Yield attributes of Mentha” conducted at Crop research Centre-3, Department of Horticulture, School of Agriculture, ITM University, Gwalior (M.P.). The experimental material comprised of twelve treatments, during Rabi Season of 2023-24. The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with deferent treatments viz., T0-Control, T1-RDF (19:19:19) 5gm/liter NPK through Sujala, T2-Sagarika 5 ml/l, T3-RDF + Sagarika, T4-Beej Amrit 5 ml/l, T5-Jivamrit 10 ml/l, T6-Beej Amrit 5 ml/l + RDF + Sagarika, T7-Jivamrit 10 ml/l + RDF (19:19:19), T8-Sagarika 5 ml/l + Beej Amrit 5 ml/l, T9-Sagarika 5 ml/l + Jivamrit 10 ml/l, T10-Moringa extract 10 ml/l and T11-Moringa extract 10 ml/l + Beej Amrit 5 ml/l + Jivamrit 10 ml/l. The observed on the growth and yield parameters viz., Plant height (cm), Number of branches per plant, Plant spread, Leaf-to-stem ratio, Total Dry Matter accumulation (g/plant), Number of stolons per plant, Chlorophyll content, Fresh herbage yield per plant (gm) and Shade Dry herbage yield (g/plant).
