 ABSTRACT

The present investigation was carried during the summer season of 2019 at Forest Nursery and Research Centre, College of Forestry, SHUATS, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh.  The experiments were laid out in the Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications and twelve treatments. The maximum vine length (3.98, 5.73, 7.33 cm) at 30, 60, 90 DAS, number of branches (5.33), length of the lateral branches (4.23 m), days to appearance to first flower (62.77), number of flower per plant (73.33), fruit length (35.00 cm), fruit  weight (1.53 Kg), fruit diameter (19.13 cm), core diameter (18.25 cm), No. of fruits per plant (19.33) and total yield per plant (28.67 Kg.) were recorded in T5(50% NPK + 50% Cow Dung Manurea. The results showed that the application of this combination to Bottle Gourd had increased the growth and yield under Teak based agroforestry system. Therefore it may be recommended for the Grower of Bottle Gourd under the Agroforestry system.
