2009
Raghav, M. | Shashi Kamal
A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of organic sources of nutrients alone or in combination on growth and yield of potato and soil health at Vegetable Research Center, Pantnagar during 2004-05 to 2006-07 (three years). The trial was laid out in randomized block design with four replications. Five treatment combinations resulting from three organic sources i.e. T1- farmyard manure + biofertilizers, T2- poultry manure + biofertilizers, T3-vermicompost + biofertilizers, T4- combination of farmyard manure, poultry manure, vermicompost along with biofertilizers and T5- recommended dose of chemical fertilizers were tested. The vegetative growth of plants in term of number of haulms and number of leaves per hill were maximum in treatment T4 having combination of farmyard manure, poultry manure, vermicompost along with biofertilizers. Whereas, recommended dose of fertilizers (T5) gave maximum height of plant. The maximum uptake of nutrient and higher total tuber yield of potato (269.84 q/ha) was recorded under the treatment T4 which was 7.03 per cent higher than the treatment having recommended dose of fertilizers (T5). It was also noticed that all the combination of organic manures improved the soil health.
