 ABSTRACT

The present experiment entitled “Effect of organic manures and bio-fertilizers on growth, yield and quality of Brinjal cv. Kashi Taru”was conducted at the Horticulture Research Farm of Department of Applied Plant Science (Horticulture), Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow, during rabi season of 2013-14. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. The row to row and plant to plant spacing were maintained at 60 x 45 cm respectively. The Treatment combinations were Control, Recommended Dose of Fertilizers (RDF), Farm Yard Manure (FYM), Vermi-compost (VC), Azospirillum,  RDF+ Vermi-compost (50%+50%), RDF+ Neem cake (50%+50%), Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB), RDF+ Azospirillum (50%+50%), and RDF +PSB (50%+50%). The observations were recorded i.e. plant height (cm) number of branches per plant, number of leaves per plant, number of flower per plant, number of fruit per plant, fruit diameter (cm), fruit length (cm), fruit Weight (g), yield per plant (Kg), fruit yield  per  plot (Kg), fruit yield per ha (q), total Soluble Solids (T.S.S.), total Sugar (g), reducing Sugar (g) and vitamin C (mg/100g). From the analysis of data, it can be concluded that the use of FYM, vermi-compost, neemcake, PSB and Azospirillum at specific concentration considerably increased the weight of fruit as well as total yield.

Key words: Organic manures, Bio-fertilizers, Yield, Growth, Quality.
