Abstract:
The experiment was carried out on entitled “effect of organic manures on growth and floral characteristics of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cv. Bhagwa” during Mrig bahar (July to December) in 2019 and 2020 at Technology park, CTAE and laboratories of Department of Horticulture, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, MPUAT, Udaipur (Rajasthan). The selected 42 pomegranate plants of 6 years old consisted of 14 treatments with different organic manures which are tested with randomized block design with three replications. The findings of experiment showed that in the various treatments, combination of organic sources like Jeevamrut (16.08 L/plant) + Vermicompost (24.79 kg/plant) have significantly effect on growth characteristics [plant height (m) and canopy volume (m3)] and floral characteristics [earliest first floral bud initiation (days), days to 50% flowering (days), duration of fruit set (days) from flowering, while maximum number of hermaphrodite flowers, fruit set percent (%) and duration of flowering (days)] of pomegranate plants.

The excessive use of chemical fertilizers adversely affected the soil fertility, biodiversity, quality of the produce, human health, increased soil acidity, deteriorate soil physical condition, decrease organic matter, created micronutrient deficiencies and increased plant susceptibility to pest and diseases, decreased soil microbial population, increased soil, water, air pollution, runoff and leaching. To solve these problems, the future of agriculture should be diverting in to organic farming direction.
