ABSTRACT
The present investigations were carried out at RVS Padmavathy College of Horticulture, Sempatti during 2018-2019. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with a total of eight treatment combinations with three replications. The organic sources as soil application viz., FYM @ 25 t ha-1, Vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1, VAM @ 25 kg ha-1 and Phophobacteria @ 2 kg ha-1 and foliar application viz., Humic acid @ 0.3 per cent and Panchakavuya @ 3 per cent. The two way interactions between soil application and foliar nutrients had highly significant influence on fresh root yield, dry root yield, root length and root width. The treatment S2F1 (vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 + humic acid @ 0.3 per cent) registered the highest fresh root yield (104.98 g plant-1), fresh root yield (3.89 t -1), dry root yield (72.40 g plant-1), dry root yield (2.68 t ha-1) root length (13.58 cm) and root width (1.12 cm).
Keywords: Vermicompost, Humic acid yield and Ashwagandha.
